Brief Answer:
What drugs have you tried?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this persistent canker sore that you have reported. I understand this could be of huge burden and very worrisome to you. Canker sores generally resolve all by themselves without need for any specific treatment. However, because this has lasted for more than 2 weeks, it might be necessary to consider treatment. Treatment at this time would depend on what you have tried before to make sure we are not repeating the same treatment plan. For this, please report what you have done before so that I can build on it to make further treatment plans to help you with this.

I hope to hear from you and would continue from there to provide the necessary assistance in getting this condition well handled.
