Hi Sunny1971!
I used to have quite a few canker sores. What helped me the most was Listerine mouthwash; the original one; not the new flavored ones. I rinsed after each meal. It really worked good. It took away the pain and the canker sores eventually went away. When I didn't have that, I used hot salt water which helped as much. My dentist told me that canker sores were caused by stress. I hope this helps you. Have you tried looking them up on the Mayo Clinic website? They are very helpful with information on everything!
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your input. I have tried Listerine. It burns and I have tried the salt water now. It doesn’t do anything. Yes they are caused by stress but it’s also a virus in your immune, i take Acidophilus, yogurt, garlic, everything I could think of and I’ll still get one. My doctor said there was no real cure yet. Thank you for commenting on my post.
