RoadkillSalad answered Saturday March 5 2005, 7:44 pm: I used to use this stuff called "Zalactin." It would burn like the dickens when you first put it on for about 10 seconds, and then basically it almsot glues your lip to your gum. But do this at night for one or two nights and that sore will be DEAD within a couple of days. I dunno if they still sell it though. [ RoadkillSalad's advice column | Ask RoadkillSalad A Question ]

Im just gunna fill you in on the cautions.. if it lasts more then 14 days (2 weeks) then u need to go get it checked out. It will heal by itself in a couple of days UNLESS it becomes host to a secondary infection. Some antiseptic mouthwashes work well. so try that-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
FernGully answered Saturday March 5 2005, 6:21 pm: I used to get Kanker sores allll the freaking time, and I bought this stuff specifically for them called Kanka. I'm not sure if they still make it, but it worked well.
If you don't get Kanka, I'd try just rinsing your mouth with salt and water, because drying out a kanker sore is the best way to get rid of it. That's why you should never like, lick them or just touch them with your tongue, because it just prolongs them sticking around in your mouth. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
Cookie4541 answered Saturday March 5 2005, 6:20 pm: All you have to do is have warm, salt water. gargle with the water for about 3 or 4 days. that should do it. if it doesn't keep it up. [ Cookie4541's advice column | Ask Cookie4541 A Question ]
