My Single Mom Life

Mark has yet another canker sore.
It seems these are always popping up with him, and he gets so pissed when he can't eat.
He's a teen who loves good food, so I can understand his frustration with this.
I did a google search, how to get rid of canker sores, and landed on How to get rid of stuff.

I never realized toothpaste could actually be a cause. It's supposed to be good for you.
We had actually talked to his doctor about the frequency he gets them, but he said it wasn't a major concern because Mark is basically a very healthy teen.
Some of the cures, Mark won't like. No spicy foods? He'd probably rather suffer the canker than give up hot wings.
"Rinse with vinegar mixed with a spoonful of salt three times a day." Can you imagine trying to get a teenager to rinse with vinegar and salt? Me either.
I think I could convince him on the baking soda paste one. That might work. I'll have to try that with him tonight before bed and see how it goes.

I must have spent about 30 minutes combing over that site. It's really informative. Tons of home remedies which I like because you know me, I'm really thrifty.
Oh and check out how to get rid of boyfriends. There's a conversation going on in the comments there. Interesting.
