What everyone else has suggested and said is very true - your dentist or doctor can also write you a prescription for stuff called Apthasol. It helps a great deal, from what I hear. Basically, you feel one coming on, you put apthasol on a couple of times a day, and the thing lasts 50% less of the time.

It is a herpes simplex. Herpes simplex 1 occurs above the waist, simplex 2 below the waist. It is a viral infection that is aroused by poor health and sometimes stress.

There is no cure.

It is contagious, so avoid contact with others or other parts of your body.

There are some medications that can be prescribed by your physician...that lessen the symptoms...but again, there is no cure...80 million Americans suffer from them.

Scuze me, TEACHER (hand held up) - I believe that canker sores are not the same as cold sores or fever blisters........... or Herpes. However, cold sores and fever blisters are a form of herpes, just not the same as a canker sore which is not a herpes virus. Got it :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :D

I get them too, and I DO NOT HAVE HERPES :p :p :p

What are canker sores?
Canker sores are shallow, painful sores in the mouth. They are usually red or may sometimes have a white coating over them. You might get them on the inside of your lips, the insides of your cheeks, the base of your gums or under your tongue. Canker sores are different from fever blisters, which usually are on the outside of your lips or the corners of your mouth.

Anyone can get canker sores, but women and people in their teens and 20s get them more often. Canker sores may run in families, but they aren't contagious. Doctors don't know what causes canker sores, but they may be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, food allergies and menstrual periods.

Canker sores CAN be caused by Herpes Simplex, but they aren't the same thing as Herpes Simplex per se'.

Only a physician can tell the difference between canker sores, herpes simplex 1 and cold sores...there are many physicians and dentists that scoff at people who differentiate between the three without medical diagnosis. Every physician will recommend treating mouth or facial lesions as simplex 1 until a different diagnosis is provided.

I agree with this approach...
