Argh!! I have a canker sore on my inner lip and on my tongue!

They f*cking hurt.

1. I have a sore spot on the inside of my lower gum.

And they do hurt. I can't stop worrying it with my tongue. Really strange counter-intuitive behaviour.

2. i'm constantly amazed as to what people will spill about their lives

in the lounge... :eyes:

6. LOL...Get over it. I'm not talking about my period or anything, sheesh!

3. where have you been putting it?

4. try a dab of

hydrogen peroxide on a q tip and apply it to the canker sores. I used to have them all the time...and I'm pretty sure this is what I did.

5. There's some stuff, or used to be

called "Kenalog in Orabase". It was prescription when I had to use it on a two inch long ulcer in my mouth years ago. Your dentist could prescribe it.

7. I remember my orthodontist said to swab Kaopectate on it

as it coats it, but I can't find it! Thanks for the tips, y'all.

8. Try this to help

mix equal parts of Maalox and children's Benadryl. Swoosh it around your mouth. It really helps.

9. Going to see if I can find any kind of Maalox or Kaopectate

concoction. I'm such a whiney ass.

10. Canker sores hurt

whine all you want.

The above mixture was recommended by a pediatrician. I was surprise at how much it helped the pain.

Good luck.
