Answers:
I get canker sores alot, but usually when I forget to eat my fruits..
My mom always swore that vitamin C helps to keep them away, and it seems that way for me at least..
Canker sores are viral in nature , therefore cant be cured.. There are a bunch on products that are meant to make one more comfortable tho:
Peroxil Rinse - gives a fresh cooling sensation, but it dosnt last very long
Orabase B- a paste you apply to the sore, but it ends up all over the mouth making numb spots all over..
Zilactin- a gel that creates a bio-bandaid over the sore so you don't feel it..
I prefer the zilactin myself.. Warning, it does burn at first, but worth it.. also, it seems to make the go away faster to me..
Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
