Common Questions and Answers about Tongue sores over counter

tongue

Avatar f tn I am in week 5 of triple TX with INCIVEK, Riba and Peg, yesterday I starting having sores inside my mouth and in the corners of my lips. Today I noticed a few sores on the side of my tongue. Has this happened to anyone else??? If so what did you do to treat it??
Avatar m tn Inflamed papillae can sometimes cause small, painful bumps on the top surface or upper sides of your tongue. Tongue sores are usually caused by trauma, physical injury, bacterial or viral infections, vitamin deficiencies and tonsillitis. If sores are large, painful, or persistent, it is best to consult a doctor. It is best to avoid citrus fruits and acidic vegetables and spicy foods till it is cured.
Avatar f tn Please help me by letting me know the best product for this that I can purchase over the counter to get longer lasting relief and possibly heal my tongue and mouth sores. Thank You!
Avatar m tn Hi, There are many types of sores that can appear anywhere within the mouth, including the inner cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, or palate. Most mouth sores are cold sores or fever blisters, canker sores, or other irritation caused by biting of the cheek, tongue, or lip; braces or burning the mouth from hot food or drinks. Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus and are very contagious. Usually, you have tenderness, tingling, or burning before the actual sore appears.
Avatar f tn There is this mouth rinse that has a numbing ingredient in it. I used it during my stem cell transplant when I had sores and my tongue and throat sloughed off due to chemo.
Avatar m tn IS there anything else other than hand/foot/mouth that can cause painful white sores all over the whole mouth (gums, tongue, roof of mouth, back of tongue)? He also told me he wouldn't test me until next week, after the doxy.
Avatar n tn Um absolutely a no no I wouldn't kiss my baby anywhere with a cold sore try using abreva for it it's over the counter I used to work in a obgyn office and the docs used to tell pts to buy over the counter first b4 they prescribed a rx. Good luck and congrats.
Avatar n tn I had not been feeling well the past couple days, bumps on tongue and it felt burnt, I would see my doc but I feel silly over a little thing as this.
Avatar m tn Mouth and tongue sores are pretty common. The numbing rinse makes them feel temporarily better but does not help them heal. You need to be vigorously rinsing your mouth 3-4 times a day with an over-the counter anti-bacterial mouthwash. It hurts to rinse the first day or so, but it will cause improvement (smaller and less painful sores) after a few days. Unfortunately new ones will keep starting as long as the bloodcounts are low.
Avatar f tn Try swishing (and eating) yogurt with active cultures or just drinking milk with acidophilus several times a week. Some individuals have to resort to anti-thrush over-the-counter preparations or get a prescription called "Magic Mouthwash" which contains Maalox (coats and soothes), viscous lidocaine (numbs the sores) and nystantin (antifungal). I had quite a bit of luck with just eating yogurt and taking acidophilus pills.
Avatar f tn The other night I was making out with this guy who I like, and I noticed that he had something that felt like a sore on his lip. Later on that night, I gave him oral sex... The next morning I woke up and found that I had a sore on each side of my tongue (they rub against my bottom molars). They hurt and look a little bit like canker sores, but I've never gotten a canker sore on my tongue, so I'm trying to find out if it's something I should be worried about...
1474604 tn?1287028129 I have been getting big sores on my tongue that realy hurt and sometimes bleed a little. I haven't tried anything much to fix them, but I would like some advise.
Avatar f tn Katester- I had sores in my mouth & tongue during tx. My Dr prescribed stalin, it worked. It would clear it up within a couple of days. Avoid eating mushrooms. they're a fungus & it will make it worse. Good luck!
Avatar m tn ve been tested back in January and June for oral herpes, and both times came back negative. I keep getting what seems to be a canker sore on the side of my tongue, and it appears in the same spot. It's happened 3 times in the past 4 months. I'm afraid it's herpes, what do you think? Is it typical to see recurrent herpes IN the mouth/throat as opposed to the lips/face? Please help!
Avatar n tn The doctor put me on fluconizole 200mg the first day, 100mg daily there after over the last 3 weeks. The patches went away during the first week and my tongue was completely normal for a few days. Then a patch reappeared on the tip of my tongue, slowly grew, and now the patches on the sides of my tongue where my tongue touches my teeth, near the back, have reappeared. Does this sound like thrush? If not, what is it? How can I get rid of this? Why won't it go away?

250701 tn?1320974765 Now that I have started the bottled pills my mouth and tongue are beginning the sores all over again. They still have me on 600 mg of riba a day. I just wonder if they are not as coated as well as the ones in the ribo pack. In the pack they seem to have a lot more coating on them. The bottle pills are like aspirin. Hope this stops, I have had fits with my mouth. But keep on truckin, God Bless and keep us all.
Avatar f tn No you do not want to rub a cold sore it will just spread. Best thing is to get a prescription for Zovirax ointment as the over the counter stuff only works temporarily and then it stops working. There are also oral antiviral meds but this one has worked for me. You want to put it on when you first get a feeling of tingling or burning until it goes away. It takes about a week or so to clear up on its own. Usually they hurt and don't itch. I don't know what the tiny black line is.
Avatar f tn Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?
Avatar m tn Its an inflammatory response on the tongue in which the red/white patches of the tongue move around and sometimes results in a burning sensation. It could also be a side effect of one of your medications.
Avatar f tn the inside of my mouth and especially my tongue burn with everything i put into my mouth. gum, ice cream, salsas, chips, hamburger, it doesn't matter, unless it's a cold pudding or cool drink, it burns like wild fire. it has gone on for about two years now and i assumed it was a dental problem so the only doctors i have gone to as of this date are dental hygienests. i in fact have an appoint at a college of dentisty in iowa city next month.

Avatar f tn Id see your Dr if you have swollen glands, could be something you need to be treated for like strep. There are lots of over the counter medications you can use to help the cold sore. Just go to any store and ask them.
