A member asked:

Doctor can listerine is good for reducing tongue ulcer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcohol free...: Any tongue ulcer needs to be checked immediately by a dentist, oral surgeon or ENT. Avoid mouth rinses that contain alcohol and use the other with caution and/or dilute then in half to reduce the tendency for chemical irritation while the area heals.
