A member asked:
Im 22, i have had this canker sore for about 2 weeks now and it doesn't look like it's healing or getting any smaller or less painful, is this normal?

See a doctor: If it has been going on for more than 2 weeks and hasn't changed in appearance or it is still painful then i recommend seeing a doctor so that they can explain to you the different treatment options that are available and you can choose which option is best for you.
