Arginine and Cold Sores and Canker SoresAmong the health experts and health food advocates, it's thought that the amino acid l-arginine maybe a trigger for not only cold sores but canker sores as well. There are reports that arginine feeds herpes and cancer cells, and so sufferers of either of these conditions should avoid foods containing arginine.Lysine's Role in RecoveryArginine is also thought to be balanced out by larger doses of lysine, another amino acid. Lysine is abundant in meat and dairy products like cheese and milk. It would be difficult to overdose on a lysine through food alone, and supplementation with anywhere from 1000 up to 10,000 mg per day have been suggested among various websites .Arginine is commonly found in foods like chocolate or nuts of any kind. Other treatmentsAmong the available treatments are prescription dental pastes and lasers. The reviews on the laser treatments are mixed. Some folks report that the canker sores go away in one to two days, and nearly instantaneous pain relief. Others have reported sharp stinging pain at the site of the laser treatment.Many times mouth sores can be relieved with a drop of tea tree oil applied to the site of the sores. Just a drop on a Q-tip or applied even on the cheek if the sore is on the inside of the cheek, because tea tree oil can penetrate through the skin and into the mouth area. Some of the more common complaints with laser treatments for canker sores, are bit of smoking at the site of the canker sore as it burns away dead flesh and cauterizes the wound.
