there is lots of treatments you can use on it...have you been? they

immune system

There are some OTC treatments that you can get from even the grocery stores for that. Clove oil works great for not only cleansing the area out but healing it. There is also a medication called Kanka, in a blue package its a tad on the pricey side but it works great. Anthing with benzocaine in it will help numb it a bit like oragel.
A home made remedy that seems to help makeitgo away too is.....
**DO NOT SWALLOW THIS JUST RINSE WITH IT AND SPIT IT OUT***
two ounces hydrogen peroxide, two ounces of water(or)
two ounces water with 4 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda
swish in mouth for 1 minute and spit out.


I find that just before, during or after a cold or flu or a lot of stress I will get a canker. Sometimes even eating a lot of acidy things like vinegar, oranges will cause it to be aggrivated even more and it just stays longer.
Dietary difficiencies, like not getting enough iron or Vitamin B12
