    Salt might do it, although it will really hurt. Maybe see a doctor?

    For me there is only one way to get rid of it and that is to put ice on it continually, just keep rubbing some ice on it and before you know it is gone. Had that problem just a few weeks ago.

    I would not put salt on it as it will make it burn and hurt even more.

    I would also recommend you try Manuka Active 20 as it is a natural good healing honey. If this doesn’t work, then perhaps a visit to your doctor for any

    15 strength, manuka honey from new Zealand should do the trick - quite nicely.

    Another option is to eat plenty of yogurt with the beneficial bacteria.

    I would recommend getting some prescriptions strength medication like omeprazole or something that is a high enough strength to actually help. Sometimes over the counter medication just isn't strong enough

    Listerine works good to rid of them. Also as other user said salt water

    Dissolve a spoonful of salt in half a glass of warm water. It has to taste salty as.

    Swirl it round your mouth for a few minutes or until you accidentally swallow some of it and start gagging. Spit out. Repeat several times a day. Tastes like sh!t but the salt will dry out the sore.
