text: why do i get ? little white tiny sore spots on my tongue. i don't have herpies, but it happens often. i take nexium for my stomach also. any ideas of what this could be.. doctors/nurse/medical professional advise only please. or person experience. for those that leave me a smart ass remark, i will just ignore your ignorance. they are canker sores. get some " kanka" mouth pain liquid at any pharmacy store
