Thanks for asking,
First of all take bland diet and plenty of fluids.
Apply Dentakind-L gel over the sores for 3=4 minutes, 4-5 times a day for a week.
Take lemon water daily as it has vitamin c which will be good for healing.
Use antiseptic mouthwash twice daily.
Take a multivitamin capsule daily for 10 days.
Wishing you recovery soon

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

painful canker sores in the lower gum cold be due to many reasons like vitamin deficiency ,stress,drug induced,or due to viral and systemic causes.

please start with multivitamins and vitamin B complex for 15 days.Also do warm saline rinses after each meal.locally you can apply triamicilone oral paste and see the results.

It should heal soon. Avoid any kind of stress.

If it does not subside ,please visit your dentist and get it evaluated clinically.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
