A member asked:

How do you get rid of canker sores in a person's mouth using natural remedies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reduce acid: Canker sores are very common in people's mouth due to acid. Some people's saliva is especially acidic and by significantly limiting acid consumption and by using antacid medications like maalox for mylanta you can reduce mouth acidity and reduce canker sores. Stay away from sodas coffee and tea.
