See dermatologist: I would suggest that you 1st confirm this dx with a dermatologist. Should they truly be canker sores and not hsv or some other pathology, you might receive a brief course of oral steroids.

LESS STRESS: A canker sore is a virus that lasts 7-10 days .It can be caused by to much acidic food or spices Also too much stress and anxiety can cause canker sores .They will heal on there own but use benzocaine ointment for the pain. Less stress will also help.
