Hi.
Canker sores are but obviously extremely discomforting. Mouth ulcer gels help with the pain and irritation.
However, if you’re not seeing much progress with your ulcer gels, apply Kenacort gel. It’s fast and effective.
Next Steps
Use gel 3-4 times a day for next 5 days
Health Tips
Avoid eating spicy foods.
Avoid hard foods like chips etc which can again poke and injure that area.
