I have been suffering Canker Sore for more than 20years. I’ve tried sort of many med and traditional med but none was effective, that means there’s no cure for it, it will just go away after a painful week. Then last year, I began to notice I had not a single attack of this dreadful disease. Even if I had it’s just a slight pain maximum a couple of days. I wonder why.. To make it short, I trace my footsteps back. You know what, just simply increase gargling your mount with water especially at night. It works with me.. I can now eat spicy food without worry of having a Canker sores. But of course don’t neglect the recommendation of Dr. Willy Ong for health reason.
