i have a canker sore right on my tonsil very painful.. besides salt anything else will heal it fast??

Accepted Answer

Canker sore : If it is a canker sore, it will heal on its own in 7-10 days.
If it does not heal after 10 days, have it examined by your dentist, oral surgeon, or an ENT specialist.
Or, have it examined now to make sure what kind of lesion it is.

Question 10

my left tonsil had a canker sore on it but now my right tonsil has a canker sore on it, the sores hasn't got a border around it, what could cause it?

Accepted Answer

Be sure of diagnosis: Get examined please. Canker sores are common aphthous ulcers of mouth that occur situationally, often in response to stressors, are bacterial or viral, &amp; can be treated topically with many otc products that reduce local discomfort &amp; potentially speed healing. However, oral/dental problems &amp; a number of systemic diseases cause canker sore-like lesions--crohn's, behcet's, STD to mention a few.
