Debacterol works, but you have to be very careful with it. It is sulfuric acid and is incredibly painful. This is a last resort for me if I need a sore GONE quickly. What really works are Quantum Canker Covers, put on the sore at night (but put wax on your teeth because it will make your teeth very sensitive in that area). Also, Oral-B's canker sore mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide is wonderful. Use it several times a day and it really helps heal well. I have bigger, longer-lasting canker sores, so i've tried almost everything in the book. Drinking milk and eating yogurt helps, along with brushing teeth regularly. Good luck.

I've been taking coconut oil daily for my thyroid just to see if it would help my thyroid (I have Hashimoto). I've noticed when my thyroid goes haywires I often get a canker sore or two right before. Anyway this is the first time I've been taking it while having a canker sore and it healed in two days. Usually mine lasts for at least a week or more. When I read up on coconut oil it says it contains Lauric Acid which helps the immune system. I am certain it’s what shortened the healing time. It’s also done wonderful things for my skin by moisturizing form the inside out because Hashimoto makes my skin very dry and itchy to the point I get an eczema like rash that won't go away. It hasn't happened this time and my skin looks and feels so smooth and silky. As for my thyroid, I don't know if it’s done anything. I am also on meds for it, so I can't tell if it’s helping the meds or doing nothing. Published: September 11 ::
