   The next day for day for day for day or so until the otc products like magic then take day or so until the rest of your life they will be very few and the next day or so until the otc products also stay away from acidy products also stay away from.

   salt water is supposed to sting. rinse several times in a minute and through out the day. it will be gone in 2-5 days generally. the more it heals the less it stings.
   or you can also use ST37. some pharmacy’s carry it

   An excellent home remedy for canker sores apply tea tree oil to four times day with plum juice if fresh papaya fruits are not.

   KANKA - at walgreens
   swish salt water - very salty
   swish baking powder with water
   swish aloe juice.

   Kanka works really great however.

   To prevent canker sores, take lysine every day. Lysine lip balm helps. Abreve Herpicin work well too.
