How to get rid of canker sore other than salt water?

Answer:
Canker sores have been a pain in my family for the longest time. I get them once in while specially if someone talks about them lol (I will expect one after this question) there haven't been a medicine that heals it however there's one that just came out and it doesn't it heal it right away but it makes it heal faster than on it's own which is about a week or more. Aphthasol is a prescription medication that makes it go away within two days and it makes it hurt much less. You should try out. Ask your doctor to prescribe it over the phone.

It's painfull as heck, but dap a little bit of alcohol on it with a q-tip before going to bed, and don't dab off the excess. It should be totally dried out by morning, and if not, go ahead and do it again the next day and it has to be by then.

They only last a few days, for the mean time dab a little oral gel on it, to take away pain, I also read that canker sores are not contagious
