What Causes Canker Sores?
10. Treatment
In many cases treatment will not be considered necessary because the sores will probably heal on their own without help. However, your doctor might wish to prescribe something if the sores are particularly troublesome. This will often mean mouth rinses that will help to reduce inflammation and reduce pain.
Supplements may be prescribed if the patient is suffering from a vitamin deficiency or similar, and some topical medications may also be used to help the sores heal. The patient may also be prescribed oral medication. In the more severe cases cautery may be deemed necessary, which means the affected tissue is destroyed, and the wound sealed.
