Thumbs up for the aspirin cure, I just put the aspirin on the tongue as close as I could get to the sore. Within two hours the pain had lessened and next day it was nearly gone. I also tried ACV but it was uncomfortable and didn't do much for me.

I love Earthclinic!

I wonder if canker sores occur when one has inadvertently ingested something that makes the body less hospitable to the virus, forcing it outward, through the body's more easily penetrable membranes. For instance, a combination of coconut oil (which is said to dissolve a virus' armor) and a food high in some sort of antimicrobial nutrient...

I think I recently read somewhere that aspirin also dissolves the armor/defenses of a virus...which would make sense...was that here?

Hi!

I've used aspirin for canker sores. It helps with pain and swelling and yes, it's an antiviral. Just don't leave the aspirin on the sore for very long. I once left an aspirin on a sore overnight and it really tore up my mouth. Even 5-10 minutes is enough time for the aspirin to do its work. Then repeat every few hours as needed. A charcoal tablet is a safer overnight remedy for a canker sore. Just FYI.
