Typically a canker sore heals in a week or two. Antimicrobal mouth-rinses, over-the-counter topical anesthetics, and avoiding spicy and acidic foods may offer you temporary relief while your sore is healing.

Halitosis is caused by the bacteria that live on and around your teeth, gums and tongue. Breath mints and mouthwashes do not cure bad breath, they only mask the symptoms.

Sinus and tonsil infections, acid reflux, ulcers, diabetes, hypoglycemia, kidney malfunction, gum disease, and eating disorders are just some of the health issues that can cause bad breath.
