jmp478 asked:


I’ve had it for about a week and it still won’t get any better. Does anyone have any advise on what I can do to speed the healing up?

   I think they have canker sore medications at your local Wallgreens or Walmart. However, I had a friend that used alum (it is a powder found in your grocery market spice section) and put that on to dry it up. It seemed to work quite well, but I think it did burn a bit.

   My dentist told me the more you disrupt it the faster it does work no lie.

   Cancer sores usually last more than a week. Try not to eat any carbs or sweets. Also, avoid soda beverages and ice tea (nestea). There’s no medications for cancer sores (I’m sure) but some doctors say to take aspirin (from research). Hope this helps.

   An astringent called tannin is contained within the tea bags on canker sores to go away.
