OTC or laser: There are over the counter remedies that sometimes help. There are also prescription rinses that can help. Finally, a diode laser can be used to relieve the pain of many larger ulcers.

Herpes pain: Try otc ointments for canker sores that will help. Ask your doctor to prescribe a medication you can take early when you first feel the sensations of the lesion. Some dentists get good results using a laser to speed up healing.
