7. Pick up some Lysine too

1000 mg of Lysine per day will shorten the time you have it and make it less severe at its' peak pain.
Really. Lysine is in the vitamin section. It is an amino acid.

Lysine is helpful for both canker sores and cold sores.

5. This is about the best. It will sting like hell for a second

but really only time will heal them.

6. When i was a little kid my mom (and Grandma) would tell us to put a dab of milk of magnesia on them

I never new that stuff was for anything else until I was an adult.

8. Check out the Rembrandt toothpaste canker sore formula.

It's done wonders for me. It won't help once a sore has developed, but after I started using it I could tell they were less frequent. Also, this may be TMI, but I noticed the canker sores were a lot worse when I went back on the pill for a few months. Once I got off the pill, voila, hardly any more canker sores.

9. inside your mouth, I take it? OK just go to the drugstore and

get yourself some Extra Strength Mylanta liquid and some generic Benadryl (diphenhydramine) liquid. Mix a little of the Mylanta and the Benadryl together..you don't want a lot of the benadryl, just enough to make the mylanta a little pink.

You can swish this around in the mouth, dab with a qtip or cotton swab. Repeat whenever you feel like it.

The mylanta heals and sooths the sore and the benadryl numbs it a little.

10. Canker sore? Staph infection? Ingrown toenail?

You are in rough shape tonight. But there's always a bright side. At least you don't have pine needles in your thigh.

11. I only have the former- neither of the two latter.

I just can't control where my brain goes!:P

12. rinse your mouth out with hydrogen peroxide

its ok to do this. It will get rid of that canker sore pretty darn quick.
