This little remedy was a miracle for me. I had been suffering from a canker sore for days and nothing worked. Not even medication. I came across this website and I tried the Aspirin paste. I cut an aspirin in half, crushed the aspirin got a q-tip and rubbed it on and left it for about 30 min. After 30 min it was instant pain relief. The next morning I felt much better and the canker sore was smaller. I truly recommend this remedy it worked Miracles for me and I have tried many different remedies and this worked the best.

This really did work and on the first try - I googled this today at work and as soon as I arrived home I went to get some asprin, but only had an Advil Liquid Gel. So I chose to try this method and it also worked. With only ONE liquid Gel capsule I let it dissolve into my mouth. With the saliva that accumulated in my mouth over the few minutes (3 - 5 min) I used the Advil to work as a mouth wash.... and Wa La... It worked. Thanks to the others as well. I can now feel comfortable again.

Nobody I have ever met gets canker sores as bad as me. I got one in the worst spot possible, right on the side of my tounge. With every mouth movement I have pain. I broke an aspirin in half and held it on there for about 5 minutes. Pain was gone immediately. It's quite amazing. Thank you.

I have canker sore on cheek or tougue quite often, about once every 2 months. I try to avoid bread because I think this closest I can think of the relation. I tried 3 remedies that I saw here, ACV, Baking Soda and Aspirin. Aspirin is the super fast one to stop the pain and feel good right after the 1st application. What I do is split the aspirin in half and one half right at the canker. It will dissolve over time and pain is gone. I used this remedy 2 times and they both worked so I need top share with everybody. ACV & Banking Sode don't work for me.

I want to thank all who took the time to post to this site about the aspirin paste for canker sores. About once a year a get a huge breakout on the roof of my mouth. About 5 days ago I could feel the itch and tingling on the roof of my mouth and today I was in a full blown episode. Pretty much my entire roof was bubbled and I was dying...I tried the peroxide to no avail..I came across this site and saw all the positive from the aspirin therapy and gave it a shot....5 minutes after application I was pain free......unbelievable...

Could almost cry with happiness....Thanks all who submitted

Thanks to the person that posted the aspirin remedy for canker sores. My son had a canker sore that was killing him, so he tucked an aspirin between the sore and his lip and just let it sit there for a few minutes. The pain went away and his sore healed up!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Earth Clinic! I have been suffering for days with excruciating pain due to canker sores on my tongue. It hurt to much to eat or talk and was nearly debilitating me. I read both about the ACV and aspirin treatments, so I tried th ACV first, being such a big fan of its other benefits-- it hurt so bad I cried! And it only got worse over the next half hour, so desperately I tried the aspirin paste. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS TREATMENT! the pain started subsiding instantly and after about 15 min. I started crying again-- only this time for joy! Pain was totally gone! I was able to eat my first real bit of food in 3 days- and enjoy it! The only thing is the effect only lasted for about 2 hours, so the next day for speeds sake I just put a whole aspirin over the sore spot and let it dissolve- same wonderful effect as the paste. It totally removes pain for about 2 hours, but each time the pain comes back it's less then before, and there is obvious healing happening. I know someone said only do the treatment once a day, but I'm popping 1 aspirin every 2 hours to keep the pain at bay because I don't have time for pain. I figure it won't effect me negatively to take this much aspirin for a couple days until the sores heal. I can't thank you enough, Earth Clinic!
