Canker sores are quite painful and also annoying throughout the day but if you follow these great tips you can get rid of them instantly. First let’s describe the symptoms from canker sores.
What Are The Symptoms of Canker Sores?
Common symptoms of canker sores are:
– A painful or tingling feeling inside the mouth. This happens usually the day before the sore is noticed.
– A white, gray, or yellow bump with a red outer color starts to form in the mouth.
– This bump becomes really painful when you’re trying to eat, drink or even talking as you can bite it in accident.
You may also experience the following: (these symptoms are much less common)
– High temperature or have the chills
– Sore throat
– Feeling weak or no energy
Make sure to get a hold of a doctor or dentist if the bump doesn’t go away after 3 weeks, if the fever becomes too high or if multiple bumps start to form in the mouth.
Many people think that canker sores and fever blister are the same thing, but they are nothing alike.
Fever blisters or cold sores form on the outer side of the mouth toward the lips. These sores are extremely contagious and are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Canker sore can’t be spread through other people and they’re not contagious like cold sores. It might be hard to get rid of them but this remedy will help to get rid of them in no time guaranteed.
What is The Magic Ingredient To Get Rid of Canker Sores?
It may be difficult to rid of a canker sore because it is inside of your mouth and you have to be very cautious not to get poison from different kinds of chemicals. It’s hard to get these painful sores to go away because the mouth is constantly wet with our saliva making it hard to get rid of the affected area.
To make things go by a lot faster, we have found a safe solution that will dry the moisture from the area.
Alum powder is the secret to get quick results. This powder is used for pickles as it sucks out all the water out of a cucumber and it does the exact same for canker sores. Once you have removed the salvia from the canker sore it makes it easier and faster for it to heal.
So to begin with this natural way to get rid of that irritating canker sore, you will need alum powder which can be found at just about every grocery store where the seasonings are.
Follow these steps to naturally get rid of canker sores:
– Put a tiny dab of the powder over the sore.
– Let it sit for 60 seconds. It taste quite horrible and is bitter. Never swallow the powder!
– Once the 60 seconds are over spit the powder out of your mouth. DO NOT RINSE YOUR MOUTH WITH WATER! Within several minutes to 24 hours the pain will disappear.
The canker sore might last a day or two until it’s completely gone, but if the pain still hasn’t gone away after two days reapply the alum powder and repeat the process.
