(14)9. Onion
The sulfur compounds present in onions kill bacteria and help heal canker sores.
- Press a small piece of raw onion gently against the affected area. Hold it there for about five minutes so that the juice is absorbed into the canker sore. Do this three or four times a day. For best results, use an organic onion.
- You can also apply the juice of an organic onion over the affected area.
10. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper has capsaicin in it, which can temporarily numb the nerves causing pain and provide quick relief.
- Apply a small bit of cayenne pepper directly onto the canker sore. It may cause some irritation at first, but it is highly effective for relieving pain.
- You can also try chewing or sucking on some candy that contains cayenne pepper.
With these home treatments, you can easily deal with painful and irritating canker sores in a fast and effective manner. If your canker sore does not go away, see your dentist as it can be a sign of a serious condition such as oral cancer.

I agree with the ice treatment, I stumbled on that one. Also, Listerine mouthwash helps reduce pain. It won’t speed up the healing, but if you need to eat your meals without experiencing pain when a piece of food or a spice crosses the cancker sore, apply some Listerine to the cancker sore. Heads up, you will experience about 10 seconds of real intense pain that will bring tears to your eyes. If you can grit your teeth through this pain, you will find that Listerine temporarily blocks the nerves and you will have no pain on your cancker sore for about an hour.
I didn’t have any listerine, so I rinsed with Jack Daniel’s instead. It worked, I can barely feel my face.
Oh I should try this one too.. hahahaha
Due to a weak immune system, I used to get canker sores all the time. Try using Sensodyne (or the generic version) toothpaste because the ingredient ‘Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)’ which is in other toothpastes actually cause canker sores in some people….Sensodyne does not have it. If I do get the occasional sore, I keep diluted hydrogen peroxide around and just poor some on my toothbrush each time I brush until the sore is gone…works every time!
Ok do you just leave it on the swollen area of the lip.
I like ur totkay but kindly plz translate in Urdu . I am very thanksfull to u.
White Vitamin C and folic acid or vitamin B complex (Bco) (all tablet) works well for me
Whenever I get a canker sore, I always make a cup of hot black tea, wring out the teabag then press & hold the hot teabag into the sore, for as long as I can stand it. Then drink the tea. It helps the pain immediately & usually after doing this 2-3 times, the sore is completely gone after a couple days.
Salt works great too..hurts like no tomorrow but it’ll go away…wet finger, stick it in salt and rub as hard as you can in the sore..sounds crazy but it works
i have gotten 16 at a time
Switch to sensodyne toothpaste. I used to get so many all at once, but since I switched to sensodyne, I have only had one in a couple of years.
