A member asked:

Had canker sore and applied undiluted clove oil. now, bigger more painful sore. think it's burn from oil. hard to talk/eat. advice for treatment? thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your dentist: This sounds miserable and the clove oil aggravated it. Unfortunately there isn't much that can help resolve a canker sore quicker. Call your dentist to see if it needs to be looked at.
