-- Posted by jmwbaby123 at 10:14 am on Nov. 22, 2008 okay so i got an ulcer in my mouth! and i usually just put salt directly on it even though it burns like hell. but if gargling salt water is suppose to help i though maybe just salt would work better lol.  but at any rate does salt even work to clear ulcers? -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 10:15 am on Nov. 22, 2008 You mean like a canker sore? Just wait it out, they aren't dangerous. -- Posted by pistolxgirl at 10:15 am on Nov. 22, 2008 that's not an ulcer....an ulcer is in your stomache..that's just a cold sore -- Posted by Malachite Morning at 10:16 am on Nov. 22, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 1:15 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 You mean like a canker sore?
