 Topic: Ulcers on the tongue??
Posted: 24 May 2009 at 6:30pm |
|
Ok, so my tongue has been really sore for a few weeks now. It had just started getting better and today it is really bad again. At first I thought I had burnt it, or maybe bitten it but looking at it again it looks almost red and blistery and more like an ulcer??
It is so painful, I am struggling to eat and I cant talk properly. If I eat certain foods (like chocolate) I am almost in tears cos it hurst so much.
Has anyone ever had this before? Could it really be an ulcer? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Winge winge winge moan moan moan!!

Ouch 
DH had a mouth full of these a fortnight ago (random viral thing). Before he could get to the pharmacy he just put some of Hannah's Bonjela on them. It eased the pain a little in the meantime.
Have you got any on hand?
But pop yourself down to the pharmacy tomorrow, they'll sort you out

Ow! I don't know any cures or anything but I just wanted to give you a  I haven't had bad ulcers on my tongue before but I get nasty ones on my gums sometimes and they're bad enough - I can't even begin to imagine what the pain is like for you.

I use to get ulcers alot and sometimes alot of them all at once on my tongue and they hurt like #@*%! The natural things that worked for me was drinking black tea and also putting the tea bag on them, I like black tea so that was a bonus, but it really did help make them go away. Also there is a product called Kenalog which is great but you cant eat for awhile after using it as it is a paste that goes over the ulcer but it really does help them go away.

I really really second the Kenalog recommendation - it is AMAZING. I get ulcers when I'm stressed or run-down (they get really big too, and yep are very painful!), Kenalog gets rid of them real quick. It's kind of a gritty paste that you put on. It's in a tiny tube but it lasts for aaagggeesss cos you don't need much at all.

I get ulcers too and gosh they hurt. I find putting salt or marmite on them gets rid of them pretty quickly. It hurts so bad and will make you dribble a lot but it really helps.

I had one on my tongue once and I can sympathise as it blimmin hurt! The only prob is that it is kinda hard to put ointments on your tongue, Bonjela did numb it for a while though.

I get them real bad (due to B12 defiency) and have tried bonjela and all the creams and pastes, but found marmite dabbed on them got rid of them fast. Hurt bad, but got rid of them.
