Canker sores are a form of ulcers, and I always got them in relation to stress. Obviously cutting back on stress is good, but there are some ways to alleviate the discomfort.
Kanka works pretty well but it is spendy. I found the BEST and most affordable method is a bottle of Tincture of Benzoin. You can get a large bottle at a full service drugstore or some pharmacies. You put some of the brown liquid on a cotton swab, and dot it on the canker sores. It will burn and I always teared up but it is an oral mucosal coverant. It has quite a bit of alcohol in it as well. Tincture of benzoin is the main ingredient in Kanka and similar products, but Kanka has benzocaine as well to cut the pain.
I once had 27 canker sores in my mouth, so I know how unpleasant this is.
