Canker Sores - Open to All Other Health Topics Message Board

Anyone know of a good remedy for canker sores? I get them a lot, and I usually suffer through them. But once in a while (like right now), I get one so bad that it makes my whole lip swell up slighty, and when I talk, it sounds funny because the side of my lip is swollen. And the canker sore hurts so much that I can't brush my teeth because the toothpaste burns it too bad. Sometimes they last up to two weeks. Anyone know of a good remedy?
Thanks!

Hi Sentence Doing. Taking the amino acid Lysine can really help with canker sores. You can get this at most healthfood stores. I hope this helps you, I know they are painful.
