Does salt really help get rid of canker sores?
You know, it’s really common for people to say that you should gargle with salt water – but it just burns like fire. You can rinse with a mix of milk of magnesia and Benadryl in even parts, but make sure not to swallow it. Or you can make a baking soda paste (by mixing with water) and apply it to the sore. Avoid alcohol (including mouth wash), and spicy/salty foods.
