Canker sore near tonsil. can i apply any remedies directly to the sore? (crushed advil, salt, baking soda, or something else directly on sore.)

No: You can use over the counter rinses such as Orajel or Peroxyl as needed, and follow up with your primary care provider within 1 week if not improved, I hope this helps.
