I have about 4 or 5 of these fuckers in my mouth right now and I'd like to know if there are any fellow victims on FP who have a successful treatment option.
I've googled some home remedies, but the main ones don't seem to be treating the immobilizing pain I've been having.
Do you guys have any specific treatments to at least ease the pain of them?
[QUOTE=The golden;37142076]Take a small glass of hot water and dump a rounded tablespoon of table-salt into it and stir.
Swish it around your mouth for 30 seconds and spit it out. Do this again a few more times. This changes the pH in your mouth so the bacteria in your mouth cannot survive anymore - thus speeding the healing process of the sores. It won't really help the pain though, but it shouldn't hurt either.[/QUOTE]
this is mint mate a few summer ago i went to see little khalid from down my road and he had around 20 of them i cracked out this old northern relic and it worked a treat
Get some benzocaine from your local drug store or pharmacy.
Lather them up with that stuff and it should numb the pain for a while. I'm not sure whether it makes them go away faster or not but, it should make things more bearable.
I have one right now. I get them all the fucking time.
Huh, I actually get these all the time on my cheeks. Didn't even know what they were. I just bite them off.
Benzoncain as mentioned before:

I actually have a bottle of it on my desk because i have a large one right now.
Also, the salt method works as well. Coincidentally recent reports have shown that vitamin b12 (which a lack of is also believed to be a possible cause of the formation of canker sores) can help speed up recovery.
Benzocain for immediate temporary pain relief, then gargle with salt water, and take a multivitamin/vitamin with b12 and hunker down for a few days.

Canker sores are just that: sores. They're open sores in your mouth, biting them off would just make the sore bigger and worse.
