Whats the reason why we get canker sores and what is a way of preventing from getting them
I was always taught as a child that they were caused by putting dirty fingers, pencils, etc. in my mouth, which I'm sure could be a cause of them.
According to wikipedia.org, the exact cause of canker sores "is unknown. In some cases they are thought to be caused by an overreaction by the body's own immune system. Factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, sudden weight loss, food allergies, and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, and folic acid...A well-known cause for ulcers in the mouth is when the skin inside the mouth is opened up, a common cause of this is biting one's lip or any tissue within the mouth."
They normally heal on their own within 1-2 weeks, and the pain can be treated with a mouth gel like Anbesol or Campho-Phenique. Warm salt water also helps, I've used that. Keep up good oral hygiene and avoid spicy foods till it鈥檚 healed. You can also try a commercial mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide, Colgate makes one called Peroxyl, or make your own with equal parts water and 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution, commonly available in drugstores.
Hope you feel better soon.
the rising temperature aroundus is the reason.
to prevent this you need to take bath in cold water at leat for 5 minutes.
This results from a deficiency in vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). Try eating more foods rich in this vitamin. i.e.: milk, liver, kdiney, yeast, cheese, fish and eggs.
