A member asked:
I have a canker sore right on my tonsil very painful.. besides salt anything else will heal it fast??
A doctor has provided 1 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.
