Some home remedies for you:

Put a little alum directly on a sore. You can find alum in the spice section of your local supermarket.

Treat canker sores with hydrogen peroxide diluted with water. Swish around in the mouth two to three times a day, making sure none is swallowed, to kill the bacteria. Be careful not to overuse, or it will kill friendly bacteria as well. Because bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, a canker sore will take about ten days to heal if left untreated.

Wash your mouth out with very strong, warm salt water three or four times a day can help take away canker sore pain and speed healing. The salt may sting, but it should clear up the sore in a couple of days.

Rinse your mouth out with aloe vera gel the way you would mouthwash, several times a day, until the condition clears up.

Swish some Mylanta around your mouth may speed healing of a canker sore. Don’t swallow unless you also have an upset stomach.

Drink a glass of milk can help your canker sore feel better. Swish a little milk or buttermilk around your mouth three or four times a day to reduce pain.

Place a pinch of baking soda on your sore to dry it up. You can also make a paste by adding a little water to one teaspoon baking soda. Place on the canker sore and keep reapplying when it dissolves. Baking soda helps fight bacteria, and brushing your teeth with baking soda may help prevent sores in the first place.

Brew yourself a nice cup of tea, and after you’ve enjoyed it, put the tea bag in your mouth on the canker sore. This should help heal the sore in a matter of days.

Recommendations

People often get canker sores after they’ve had some. Even a small cut presents an opportunity for bacterial infection. If you break the skin in your mouth, take some of the preventive measures outlined above. Also, use a toothbrush with soft bristles and change it often to avoid damaging the mouth’s delicate tissues.

If you routinely get canker sores, increase your intake of foods high in Vitamins B and C, or take daily supplements.

Sugar may be a culprit in causing canker sores. Reduce or eliminate it from your diet if you suffer from canker sores chronically.

Hope this helps!!

Just today I have been having some throat pain. However, it feels like the pain is only on one side of my throat, and I do not feel any other symptoms (no fever). When I brush my teeth, I tend to brush my tongue as well, and sometimes hit the back of my throat when I brush the back of my tongue. Do you think that it is possible I poked myself in the throat, and that is where the pain stems from? I've never heard of that happening, and I could be sick. Please let me know what you think.
