Ouch - I just got off of a really bad canker sore that's unfortunately scarred the inside of my lip.
What I've found that works?
I rinse my mouth with listerine for thirty seconds, then rinse it again with a half and half mixture of Maalox and Robitussin, and then finally I rub anbesol onto my canker sore to make the pain go away.
I did this probably 3 times a day, maybe 4 depending on when I was home, when I ate, etc. I'd probably suggest doing it right after eating.
I had the sore for about two weeks and it didn't change, and then as soon as I started doing the Maalox/Robitussin mix it went away within three days. The first day there was no change, but by the second evening it was a really big change.
