Hi,

Thanks for posting the query,

Canker sores occurs due to physical or chemical trauma.
Dont worry apply Dologel oral ointment topically over the affected area.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take multivitamin suplements.

Take care!

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Canker sores are also called as aphthous ulcers, they occur very commonly in the mouth, they can appear due to stress, stomach problem and even because of cold.

But there is no need to worry about that, as they will heal on there own within 1 week you just have to apply an anesthetic ointment for relief of symptoms.

If it does not reduces within that time better you visit a dentist for examination of the lesion.

Hope it will help you.

Regards
