How to best treat canker sores in the mouth after biting yourself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Studies show steroids can speed up healing and help with pain from canker sores. Options include triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% paste, clobetasol 0.05% gel or ointment, and fluocinonide gel. In the US, these are prescribed medications, not over the counter products. Good luck.
