Canker sores treatment online in Virginia and West Virginia

Canker sores (recurrent aphthous ulcers) are common, painful sores inside the mouth — on the cheeks, lips, tongue, or floor of the mouth. Most classic, recurring canker sores can be treated with a topical prescription. A sore that will not heal after 2 weeks, or one that comes with other warning symptoms, needs an in-person look instead.

如果治疗合适,医生可以将非管制药物处方发送到您的药房,并通过门户网站向您提供说明。

How is a canker sore different from a cold sore?

Canker sores appear inside the mouth (cheeks, lips, tongue, floor of the mouth) and are not contagious. Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus, usually appear on or around the outer lip, and are contagious — that's a different lane on this site.

Why does a sore lasting more than 2 weeks matter so much?

Most canker sores heal within 1 to 2 weeks with treatment. A single mouth sore that persists beyond 2 weeks needs an in-person exam, because a small number of persistent mouth sores turn out to be something more serious that needs a biopsy.

What if I have a white patch instead of an open sore?

A white or creamy patch that wipes off, revealing a red area underneath, often points to oral thrush (a yeast infection), which is treated differently. A white patch that does not wipe off needs an in-person evaluation.
