A member asked:
My canker sore is not healing. my mom wants me to use clove oil to gargle with. will this help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It has been reported that applying clove oil directly to a canker sore may help numb the pain. Also baking soda mixed with water helps clean the sore so it will heal better. Gargling with a saline/water solution may also help. Aloe Juice may also help relieve & heal a canker sore. Eating yogurt which contains live probiotic cultures may also help. I wish you well with your health!
