Time: Fever blisters (herpes simplex/cold sores) usually last 7-10 days. Canker sores are a little different. For cold sores- homeopathic rhus tox can shorten the course. Lysine Amino Acid can also help. A chinese herbaceutical schmoove is also very helpful in helping both resolve. (www.Franzcenter.Com /herbaceuticals). For canker sores that are recurrent vitamin b complex can also help prevent them.

Time: Unfortunately these will have to heal on their own. Keep him on a "bland" diet with no spices and no carbonated beverages so that they do not become more irritated. Your dentist or physician can often prescribe a soothing oral rinse to help reduce the discomfort and enable him to eat more easily. Nutrition is very important at this time. Please see your dentist or physician to help your son.
