Usually canker sores won’t last more than a few days to a week at most. Most heal on their own. For a really large canker sore or one that persists, you might want to consult a dentist for a prescription pain medicine. If the sore is minor, you can use Orajel or Ambesol to temporarily numb the pain. Also, avoid any spicy or sour foods (like pickles) while the sore is still present.

just a little bubble 1 day-
a bigger harder one maybe 3-4 days?
5 days or longer, think seriously about your citrus acid intake. I learned my lesson the hard way.
I put a little baking soda on mine or salt water works too.but the Dr can give you something better
I know there are lots of problems worse than ours… but I still feel sorry for you..
ps
when I was little
my Gramma told me It was from telling lies. I don’t know… I haven’t told any lies in years. okthatsalie. ;)
