What Causes A Oval Shaped White Sore On The Tongue?

Hi. I've developed an oval shaped white sore on the side of my tongue with an open whole in the center. I've been to the dentist and he is surprised it isn't healing. I've been to the doctor as well...about 3 weeks ago and he thought it would be a week or two before it healed, but so far it isn't getting better.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you have developed ulceration on the centre of tongue, this could be due to infection bacterial and fungal, nutriotional deficiency, trauma, stress.
I would suggest you to get a checkup done by the Dentist.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Apply hexigel topically over the affected area.

Take care!
Dr Ammara.
