A canker sore is NOT a virus. Only a cold sore is.
Op, make sure his toothpaste does not have sls as this can cause canker sores and also irriates them more

Thank you all
So he is a 7 yr old boy. He is not going to take pills, eat eggs, etc. He sleeps 10 hours a night. He doesn't have stresses. He doesn't chew his nails.
I am trying to switch him to sensodyne but he hates mint and I think they only have mint. Now he uses children's flavored toothpaste.
I also don't think its the toothpaste cuz he doesn't really brush twice a day every day. Wink

I am going to buy LLysine.
I am trying to get him to an oral pathologist but they are booking months in advance.

I had it 2 years ago and the dentist said that if keeps reoccurring than I might need some antiviral. But by me it was definatly stress, my baby had (at that point) undiagnosed medical condition and was in hospital every 1-2 months in the winter. I only realised it was stress related when the summer came and my child was well, they disappeared and didn't come back.
