AAaaaa I have the exact same problem. And they are stinging soo bad. -.-
wax doesnt help at all, cause whats causing it for me is this hook thing, on the last tooth at the back.

just try to focus on somthing else, like watch tv or dvd, or like play a game.
and also dont play with the sore with your tongue or anything cause it will make it worse

Hopefully it will heal sooner or later.Health Question & Answer

most cold sores occur outside the mouth although some can be on the roof of the mouth or gums.youre vague on what they look like so it could probably also be canker sores.cold sores are:contagious,last 1-2 wks,and be treated w/ oral-anitviral medications (neosporin wrks rle well).canker sores:last 1-2 wks,not contagious,treated w/ over the counter anesthetics,and topical based steriods in severe casesHealth Question & Answer

its not cold sores. its called Canker sores. cold sores is cause by herpes. try to see your dentist maybe some strings hits your cheeks. its caused by sharp objects inside your mouth. try gargling with lidocaine mouthwash i forgot the name. its a form of anesthesia. ask your dentist for any medication to treat pain.Health Question & Answer
