eli5 Why do we use WARM salt water for canker sores?

1.13K viewsBiologyOther

I understand why salt is needed, to dry out the sore and heal it. My doctor said: “gargle with salt water that is as warm as you can handle without burning yourself?” Why was the “warm” aspect of this emphasized so much?

I’m sorry you guys have been suffering with this homemade bs canker sore advice. From a doctor too? I’m amazed. Call your dentist/doctor and get Triamcinolone Acetoneide Dental Paste 0.1%. One-shots any canker sore overnight. I never don’t have a tube in the cabinet
