How can I prevent canker sore outbreaks?

Q: I get them often. Often being every other month. They last. For a long time. And sometimes I’ll get cold symptoms with them. I’ve been to the doctor many times and they tell me it’s “viral”. Antibiotics don’t work for this. It takes awhile to go away and it changes everything. What I can eat, the way I eat and sometimes talk. I’ve started to keep a calendar of when they come. I notice they come right around my cycle. Is there any links between the two?

A: A fellow sufferer of canker sores! I get them a couple of times a year and they are not fun. I have done quite a bit of research into them since I can’t stand it.The bottom line is that doctor’s don’t know what causes canker sores BUT they do believe they know what can trigger them: Doctors don’t know what causes canker sores, but they may be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, food allergies and menstrual periods. I believe that last one is of particular importance to you and seems to be the answer to your last question.Unfortunately, there seems to be no surefire way to prevent them. There are some prescription medicines that can help the healing process. Specifically, an anti-inflammatory (Aphthasol or Kenalog in Orabase) or a collagenase inhibitor (Tetracycline or Peridex).Check out the sites below for good info:

How do you prevent a canker sore?

Q: How do you prevent them and how can you get rid of them quickly if you do get one? They are so painful and numbing medication doesn’t last very long. Thanks!

A: I’m not sure how to get rid of them quickly. I know to prevent them it is good to avoid artificial sugars in things like soft drinks. Also avoid having too many acidic foods. Stress can also lead to canker sores. How old are you? I used to get them all the time as a child and teenager. Once I got into my 20s (now 25) I stopped getting them very often. I now only get them once every few months.
