Watch it: Topical anesthetics for the mouth are over-the-counter -- they have a sticky, wax-like composition that allows them to stick to the moist surfaces. If the lesion is not gone in two weeks, have it seen.

Have it checked: Dentist should rule out any major problems and then give you proper solution.
