How do You Treat Canker Sores?

Canker sores can be painful. Normally located around the mouth area, applying a medicated lip ointment like Carmex can help reduce pain and the sore.

Your sores will heal quickly, but your mouth will be susceptible to a fungal condition called thrush. Thrush is an infection of yeast fungus in the mucous membranes of the mouth. 2Request topical gels and ointments.

Topical ointments such as benzocaine (Anbesol), amlexanox (Aphthasol) and fluocinonide (Lidex, Vanos) may relieve pain and speed healing if applied as soon as canker sores appear. 4 Doctors usually suggest treating sores with ointments 2-4 times during the day. Other oral medication not specifically intended to treat canker sores may be helpful in treating canker sores.

Cimetidine (Tagamet) and colchicine, gout medicines, are sometimes effective in treating canker sores. Steroidal oral medications are generally used as a last resort, only when canker sores don't respond to other medications. Doctors still don't know what exactly causes canker sores.

Cauterizing — or burning the surface tissue — sores can keep open sores from getting bigger, and the burn will eventually heal over. Most cauterizations are performed with chemical solutions, such as silver nitrate. 1Try to stop the cause.

Canker sores can be caused by a variety of factors. Brushing your teeth more gently. Brush your teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
