I've been plagued by canker sores since I was a child. For those that don't know what they are, they are open sores that occur inside the mouth. Unlike cold sores that occur on the outside of the mouth, canker sores aren't contagious, but they sure are painful!
I was curious if anyone has had them and what do you do for them. I apply an over-the-counter remedy called campho-phenique. This is an anesthetic that helps numb the sore and help it heal.
What are your experiences with the painful sores?
Here's a link for those who don't know the differences between canker sores and cold sores.

OK, your turn... Discuss.
