Ive had sores on my gums and on the back of my tongue for the past 5 days and its just been getting worse. Ive had them before but just on my gums, and its only been one at a time. I have 4 or 5 of them on my gums and more on my tongue. Any std is almost absolutely out of the question, but if it sounds like one i may have unknowingly caught it. Ive been using salt water and peroxide but its not helping any. I did buy a new mouthwash Ive never used before at about the same time, could it just be allergies?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have sore gum and tongue don't be worried so much this can be due to deposition of food in sublingual areas of gum causing soreness and periodontal problem may be periodontal abscess, as you have soreness on tongue also this soreness can be due to decapitation of papillae, geographic tongue, ulcer on tongue, or due to sharp cusp of tooth. I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for examination of tongue and gums if there is periodontal problem then go for oral prophylaxis. In meantime, you can apply ointment on tongue like Mugel or McCoppin and take vitamin B supplement by consulting with your doctor. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health
