I am desperate and have tried many things to get rid of my canker sores. I have 5 right now I can't take it anymore. Here is what I have tried:
Lysine supplements every morning
baking soda based toothpaste
SLS free toothpaste
Brush teeth and floss twice daily
Peroxyl mouthwash after flossing
salt water swishing
I know stress is a main cause but I feel like I'm not particularly stressed all the time, pretty much an average stress level.
My diet is not super high in acidic foods, I drink lemonade sometimes, but other than that my diet is pretty average. Not a whole lot of fast food either, maybe a few times a week.
And even while doing all these things simultaneously, I still have pretty much multiple sores at a time. I also am very prone to infected tastebuds although I have none right now thank goodness.
I am looking for preventative measures not to remedy already existing sores.
Anyone got any ideas I should try? I'm dying guys it hurts please help
I have had mouth sores different times in mouth and on tongue since a bad case of the flu December of 24’ . Muscle pain in arms and legs swollen lymph nodes in neck irritated gums. Swollen tongue. Mildly elevated anti ccp negative for Ana and everything else. Gp says RA and Rhumetologist still testing after 18 months. Just feel like answers will never come. I take Celebrex and it helps the muscle pain 50%. Rhumetologist wants lip biopsy for srogrens.
it looks like it's deep and so purple that it's making me worry. I don't usually suffer with canker sores and rn half of my face is swollen and my lymph too. Regardless of the answer I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get a prescription for anything that could make the excruciating pain go away
also, is my tonsil involved? I feel like the whole mouth is a source of pain
Have this horrible canker sore in back of my throat. Coming up on two weeks and still not getting better. Anyone have anything like this? Kinda freaking out that i have mouth cancer at this point
PLEASE HELP!! is this a canker sore?? i use SLS-free toothpaste and take vitamins every day. i’ve been using orajel antiseptic mouth wash practically every hour and i can still barely eat/drink. i must admit this appeared a few days after attempting to remove tonsil stones, but THIS has never happened before.
I hardly ever get canker sores but somehow developed 3 this week I’m miserable 😭 does anyone have any tips or advice to help them heal?
Hello,
So I have been getting “normal” canker sores for years but this is much worse. Over the past few years, Ive started getting outbreaks of tiny white canker sores (herpetiform aphthous ulcers) for seemingly no reason at all. I’ll get dozens of tiny white ulcers mainly under my top lip near where the gum begins, but it can also spread to other nearby areas in the mouth. One day i’ll wake up with dozens of cankers that emerge out of nowhere then multiply and suddenly disappear.
my doctor suggested it could potentially be an early sign of behcets but he isn’t an expert on it and i have no other symptoms of that. I’ve been having this for about 2 years and it will occasionally just pop up out of nowhere. i do suspect it might be related to stress or something like an SLS allergy but idk.
it’s not super painful but is VERY uncomfortable and nothing i do seems to help. I gargle with salt water and got a gel from the pharmacy but it doesn’t do anything but irritate it more. Sometimes i can’t even brush my teeth properly because they’re right where the toothbrush hits. There’s no other symptoms other than i often get a bout of angular chelitis around the same time. i can usually tell when i will get herpetiform canker clusters inside my mouth because the corner(s) of my lip start to crack open and sometimes bleed the day before.
Does anyone else get this? Do you know what causes or triggers their flareup? Any tips for how to get rid of these outbreaks as quickly as possible??
I am a 50 y/o female and began getting erosive canker sores down the left side of my tongue and inner cheek. Originally dx as infection but antibiotics didn't help, they resolved after about 6 weeks. I now have them for the 5th time and no one has an answer. My PCP thought maybe viral so prescribed valcyclovir, that didn't work either. I am a non smoker with no other dental issues. I am frustrated and in pain, any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
It’s been a solid week of these guys developing and 4 days in the rough for me. Been doing everything, yogurt and honey, lidocaine, salt water, baking soda water and staying away from spicy/acidic. Feel like they are persisting more than usual. Going to try antihistamine and my humidifier. Maybe burn em with a match? Let me know what y’all think
Ugh, now there’s another mouth sore in my mouth….idk what going on. It’s painful asf
I woke up extreme pain in jaw stinging burning then I saw this on my retromolar pad .. this is now day 4 pic … should I. Be worried ?
Help!!!! I'M having an outbreak. I havent eaten in 2 days.
I have behcets disease, I've been under a lot of stress and I'm genuinely in so much pain I cant speak or breathe.
I dont know what to do. Ive never ever seen them this bad in my life.
Please, I need tips on how to get rid of this damn thing. It gets worse each day and it is so painful.
I've had very frequent cankersores for as long as I can remember, often having multiple (and painful) at the same time. I've changed my diet (avoided pineapple, acidic foods), oral hygiene (eliminated SLS years ago). Nothing's worked. I get them so frequently, I've never been able to tie them stress, diet, etc. I know there can be genetic and age components, but I'm past the age of growing out of them. One of my parents was prone to cankersores, but grew out of them as a young adult. Has anyone actually figured out a medical cause for their cankersores?
Looking through the history of this sub, it doesn't seem hopeful.
