Canker sores after visiting Nigeria

Upvote:1

I have always heard that mouth ulcers, (you call them canker sores,) come from a lack of vitamin C.
When I get them I do increase my fruit intake or, when that is not an option, take vitamin tablets.

It works for me.

Of course, all information in the comments on the question may hold the truth and a change in toothpaste or water may be the cause. Or spicy food.

So bring your usual brand of toothpaste, get yourself used to the same level of spice in your food before you travel, keep avoiding tap water and so on.

As with many sore spots in your mouth, rinsing with a strong alcoholic drink (40% like wiskey or rhum) might kill the pain. It is a painful method. (No rule about spitting out the drink.)
