A member asked:
What over the counter medicine can i get to treat sores on my tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore or not sore: Sores on the tongue can occur for a number of reasons. Viruses, acid foods and emotional stress have all been implicated as causes. If the area is painful Orajel or Orabase can be applied to cover the areas and reduce soreness and promote healing. If no pain is present, warm salt water rinses can often help, but the above products can also help. If the areas do not resolve, see an oral surgeon
