A member asked:

I'm getting small boils on tongue and canker sores under tongue. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have your dentist send a RX for Debactrol[Neagatan] to pharmacy. This is the best treatment, or you could get many OTC meds. Your sores are from a high acidic diet and too much stress. Reduce both for better comfort.
