These kinds of sores can be rather painful, and they tend to make their presence felt every time you drink or eat something. Aphthous Stomatitis is the medical term for these painful sores. Any one can develop this condition irrespective of their age, and the sores once healed; have a tendency of resurfacing at some point in the future. A few symptoms associated with this condition are; appearance of painful sores or blisters on the inner part of one’s mouth, such as the tongue, tingling or burning sensation before the onset of the sores, swelling of the lymph nodes, fever and a yellowish or white coating on the sores, once they burst.
The precise reason for the formation of these sores has not been established however, some theories suggest that canker sores could be caused due to; a malfunction of one’s immune system, food allergies, menstrual cycle, nutrient deficiency and bacterial infections. Here are a few home remedies that you could implement, in order to get rid of this painful condition. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and add a few drops of water to it, in order to make a thick paste. This paste should then be applied on to the sores twice a day. This will help accelerate the healing process. Cranberry juice is also considered to be excellent when it comes to treating these sores. Consuming 2 glasses of this juice will help in alleviating pain and will help the sores heal faster.
Moisten a tea bag by immersing it in a cup of water and then place it over the sores. Tea contains tannin acid, which will help in drying out the sores. Rinsing your mouth with cold water or placing an ice cube on the sores will also help in reducing pain. Sage leaves are also effective for treating canker sores. Boil a pint of water and then add three teaspoons of the leaves to it. Let the two simmer for about 15 minutes on a low flame. Once the decoction cools, strain it into a glass. This liquid should then be used to rinse the mouth 3-4 times a day.
