If you can’t make up your mind which one of these remedies to use, try coconut oil. It tastes good, and it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties so it’s almost guaranteed to work on your canker sore.

Simply dab a liberal amount of coconut oil directly onto your sore. Try to use a thick clump of oil as coconut oil melts quickly in your mouth. If it simply won’t stick, try melting a bit of beeswax and mixing it with the coconut oil, then apply that mixture.
