    If you have ever had a canker sore, you know how painful they can be. In fact, canker sores can be so excruciating that part of their medical name, oral aphthous ulcers, comes from the Greek word “aphthi” which means “to set on fire” or “to inflame” (1).

    We all know that germs can spread a cold or flu and that it is important to wash your hands to reduce your exposure.
