Q: Okay so im 18/F and i have canker sores. 2 on my tounge, and ones on the inside of my bottom lip. Ive gotten these types of thinks my whole life, and i know there a virus. But today i woke up, and i have one on the top back of my throat. Its really bothering me and it hurts to speak or swallow. I dont know if its the same thing as what i have on my tounge, but i would like to get rid of it fast. I dont want to have these sores when i go home to visit my family on Sunday. Is there anyone who can tell me why there would be on my throat like that, and how to get rid of it please?
Thanks!

finally found someone like me : ). Yep, I've gotten canker sores my WHOLE life too. Luckily, in the last few months they have slowed down a little bit. Here's what I did.
1) started drinking bottled water, limited tap water.
2) stopped eating candies with lots of color dyes in them (eg m&m's, skittles, etc)
3) pretzels (they have a unique type of yeast in them that has been known to cause canker sores)
4) some vitamins- zinc, regular centrum, vitamin c, and acidopholis)
5) salt water rinse (I know it hurts, but it really does soothe the pain.)
and when they get REALLY bad (like one time I had 8 in my mouth at once) I get a numbing mouthwash from my dentist.
I am not sure which one of these things is working for me, but I really would rather not experiment. I'm just so happy to not have any more sores!
I hope one of these things works for you like they did for me... although there are sooooo many causes of canker sores out there
good luck
