Using a topical gel or paste that has a painkiller is a popular over-the-counter canker sore remedy
Using a topical gel or paste that has a painkiller is a popular over-the-counter canker sore remedy. The active ingredient in most of them is benzocaine, although a few use benzydamine or choline salicylate as a way to reduce pain. You use these medications by applying them directly to the sore three or four times a day as needed. Many of them have an added benefit in that they shield the sore with a protective coating of some sort for a few hours, which serves to help speed up healing.
Anxiety can cause stomach issue, or even accelerate your heart beat. Of course, nervousness and anxiety can combine to create stomach ulcers also. So if anxiety can cause these reactions in the body, it is logical to assume that it can cause other less well known symptoms.
Even doctors have said that canker sores can occur during emotional stress, or during menstrual periods. Children in elementary school also seem to be prone to canker sores. It would seem to me that these categories of people also usually are experiencing elevated levels of anxiety.
Just as an experiment, think back to a time that you had a canker sore, or if you have one right now. If you could have felt relaxed and peaceful, would the sore have felt better and healed faster, perhaps not have ever erupted at all? Interesting thought to ponder, isn't it?
An oral pathologist can make the distinction in these cases and it is recommended to seek professional advice. People who have frequent cases of canker sores are some time prescribed steroids or other immune-suppressant medications by their physician to help. It is difficult at best to tell a cold sore from a canker sore by simply looking at them.
It is best if you have a sore and do not know if it is a canker sore or a cold sore, err on the side of caution and treat is as a cold sore.
For those interested in a more natural approach to canker sore medicine, there are natural healing products available. They can be found wherever alternative medicine is sold, and some claim to get rid of canker sores in as little as one day.
Canker sores, or mouth ulcers, can be a real pain in the... mouth! At any given time, millions of people are suffering from these painful little white mouth sores. At a minimum, the pain caused by canker sores is annoying and, for some people who often get 2 or more at a time, the pain can be debilitating.
If emotional stress, lack of sleep or injury inside the mouth (for instance, a dental procedure) seems to be the pattern for your child's canker recurrences, it is likely the herpes simplex I might be to blame, the same virus which causes cold sores.
Below are my favorite, highly effective, children-safe remedies which I've recommended to my clients and readers over the years, garnering positive, enthusiast feedback. First up are the anti-viral remedies and treatments than can dramatically accelerate the healing process.
