Suggest Remedy For Canker Sores In Mouth

I have a canker sore in my mouth, that doesn't seem to go away. It's on the inside of my cheek but it's constantly pushing against my teeth. I've had it a little over 3 weeks, is there anything to increase the healing? And is the pressure from my teeth making it last longer/more painful?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your symptoms resemble canker sore in mouth which is due to bacterial infection of oral cavity. Visit dentist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice a day. Apply ora gel on these sores. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Apply mucopain or dologel. You should take vitamin B supplement with Antioxidants. You should eat yogurt in diet. Dab small amount of milk of magnesia. Apply ice on sores near cheek area to subside swelling and inflammation. you should apply a combination of steroid and numbing gel and take painkiller such as Tramadol. Your symptoms will resolve in one week.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
