I just recieved info on that and was told to gargle peroxide for 10 minutes a day and that will take canker sores away, you can ut it at stores for very reasonable price and not sure if there are different % but use 3 % and it will tell yuo right on bottle it is good to gargle
Go to the store and get some Milk of Magnesia. Swish it in your mouth for at least a minute, and do so twice a day.
They will go away faster and not hurt so much afterward.
If you just have one problem canker sore, get a Q-tip, soak it in Milk of Mag, then apply to the sore.
Canker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Orajel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. These medicines are applied directly on the sore.
You can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.
Some people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.
I've got your answer. Go to the store and buy some Zinc - it is in the vitamen section. Whenever I get a canker sore, I take 100mg for about 3 or 4 days and the soreness is 1/2 as bad after the first day. It says not to take that much but for a short time it is all right. My BIL wears false teeth and he always had them under his plates - I kept telling him to take some Zinc and it would really help - he wouldn't believe me and I finally bought a bottle of 10mg and gave it to him. His wife said he took the whole bottle and never had them again. Try it - Zinc might be low in your body and nothing will heal if you don't have at least some in your body makeup.
