how can I prevent canker sores?
I have had canker sores for a couple of years and I get ear aches along with the canker sores. I was pregnant from Feb. to Sep. 08 and I did not have any sores or ear aches. Since I've had my son I have had two bouts of canker sores with ear aches right in a row. I take a prenatal vitamin, L-Lysine, and vitamin C daily. I am wondering if there is something that happens when I am pregnant that prevents the canker sores. Maybe my body makes more of a certain vitamin or retains a vitamin better when I am pregnant. I have read about vitamin b being good for canker sores but I have not tried it yet. I was also thinking that birth control pills might help because they mimic being pregnant? Maybe I am just grasping, but anybody that has these awful things will understand my pain.
Thanks for your help.
Non-Stop Canker Sores?
I constantly get canker sores a few at a time and the last for weeks, and then I get more right when the others are healing. I've been to my doctor and all he could tell me was to put cinnamon on it. The dentist I go to didn't know the difference between a cold sore and a canker sore and tried to give me cold sore medicine for them. I have suffered from these my whole life and am miserable. All of the over the counter medicines I buy don't even last an hour. I have taken ample doses of Lysine which is said to help, but I haven't noticed a difference. Is there an anti-biotic that anyone knows of? Please help...you name it...I've tried it.
