∙ 12y agoThere is no certain way to treat canker sores. There are many home remedies for canker sores.
The one I find effective and can be easily found at home without going out ad buying things is applying a small amount of baking soda on the canker sore. If the sore is not causing a lot of pain do not use baking soda as it is very painful, but it will pay off. After applying the baking soda it will be sore for a while, but then the pain will signifigantly ease. Continue regularly if there is a lot of pain.
If the canker sore lasts for more than 1-2 weeks, is consistantly painful, or seems to be spreading contact a doctor.
