A member asked:
Have painful sores on tongues. ent said its herpes 1. tried acyclovir for a month ...only helps temporarily. any supplements/ other treatment ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aphthous Ulcers: May not be herpes at all. Involvement of the tongue is unusual. Not responding to Acyclovir is also unusual for herpes. You probably have aphthous ulcers. Avoiding toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate may solve the problem.
