i have a canker sore on the I side of my lip on the left side and let me tell you I am in pain. The vicinity in which the ulcer is is throbbing almost and when I lay down to sleep or whatever it only Hegel's worse. I tried a salt water remedy and it stung as I swished it around and then the pain wasn't as prominent now its excruciating and I almost cant bear it

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have a Canker Sore that seems severly inflamed and infected leading to pain..
It can occur due to a number of causes like deficiencies of Iron and Vitamin B12, stress, physical trauma, acid reflux, etc..
You can first of all start applying a numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the Ulcer as it will numb the area and provide relief..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
You can take a multivitamin tablet for atleast 15 days.
You can suck ice or do cool water rinses to reduce inflammation and ultimately pain..
You should take a soft and light diet..
In case if still it does not improve consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
