Question: Hello doctor, i have got a canker sore near the last downside tooth... thats bothering me since yesterday... i am attaching a picture of the same... i hope its not anything serious... can you please help ..
Brief Answer:
Cancer sore remedies as following....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history and the photo you provided carefully and can say as following:
The sore I saw in the photo was really a cancer sore, it could be due to:
- viral infection
- biting on that site
- drinking too hot/spicy fluids/foods
It will be ok in a few days. I usually recommend my patients to keep a good oral hygiene.
Rinsing with baking soda (1 teaspoon) mixed in a half a cup warm water can help speeding healing process up.
A mixture of honey with baking soda by applying as paste locally can also help.
Take ibuprofen or paracetamol in case of pain.
Avoid hot/spicy/chilly foods/fluids.
Wish fast recovery!

Hi back my dear,
Sorry for the typo error, it was canker sore and not cancer sore of course.
