I think that Im getting a cold sore. I hope that it is just a cut but I did kiss someone about a week ago that gets cold sores but they did not have one at the time. Is it possible to just get one and have it go away like a canker sore or is getting one a sign that youre infected for life?

Riley asked:


I have a canker right at the bottom of my top lip. It’s got my whole top lip swollen, and it hurts whenever I drink. needless to say, I want it gone as soon as possible. I tried putting salt on it (my mom says that helps) but it stings so bad I can’t hold it on for more than like 5 seconds. What could I put on it that could heal it as quick as possible?

free spirit asked:


It started as a small white spot inside my lower lip and I thought it was a canker sore. Two days later and it has become a large bump and is very painful. I rinse with antiseptic and that makes it feel better for a few minutes, but it seems to be getting worse every day. My lymph nodes are swollen. Should I try see a doctor or a dentist? Thanks for advice.

I recently went to the dentist and now have a sore on my gums/cheek direcetly underneath the teeth that I had work done on. I’m not sure if this is just coincidence and has something to do with when they worked on me. It’s quite painful but I’m not sure if it’s a canker sore or like I said something they accidently did. I don’t know if I should go back to the dentist’s office and ask or go my my medical doctor. Or just leave it. I just want to heal it and be done with it. I’ve been told to put salt on mouth wounds so I have been and it obviously totally stings when I do. What should I do?

Does anyone get earaches with canker sores?

garza asked:


I know this sounds weird, but when I get canker sores I sometimes get bad earaches. The worse my canker sores, the worse my earaches. I have gotten canker sores on and off for years, ever since I had kids. In the past year though I have been getting the earaches occasionally (only with the sores). My doctor didn’t seem concerned by it. I am just wondering if anyone has similar problems.

Theresa asked:


I seem to have two canker sores- one on each side of my tongue [left and right] in about the same spot [way in the back].
They hurt like crazy. And the bother me whenever I talk, swallow, eat, drink…At first I thought it was my tonsils [like I had strep], so I went to the doctor, and it wasn’t. Just to painful canker sores.
What is the best way to relieve my pain/make them go away quicker?

P.S. What causes canker sores? And why do I have two in the same spot on either side of my tongue/mouth?
