Hello dear..
Ulcer at the edge of tongue can be due to trauma, stress, food allergy, deficiency of Vit B12, Zinc, etc.
Management consist of:
1. Maintaining a good oral hygiene...mouth wash can be used.
2. Multivitamin & multimineral preparations containing Vit B complex & Zinc
3. Analgesics, antibiotics, local anesthetics can also be used.
4. Eat plain, soft, non-spicy food.
5. Avoid smoking & alcohol.
6. Best thing is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, avoid stress, get good sleep, think positive and stay happy.
Wishing you a good health.
Thanks & take care
