Have Mouth Ulcer At The Tip Of Tongue. Cause And Cure?
Thanks for writing in.
I would like to tell you there are many causes of oral ulcer like:-
-vitamin deficiency
-local trauma like mechanical,electrical & thermal burn, chemical injury
-irradiation
-drug-induced
-gastric problem
-hormonal imbalance
-infection
-malignant neoplasms
-apthous stomatitis
Generally it heals within a week but if its recurring & doesn't heal within 3 week then it can concerning. I always recommend my patients to consider evaluation which may include biopsy when oral ulcers do not heal within 3 weeks. Discuss with your treating doctor.
Meanwhile you take vitamin supplements. Apply some anaesthetic gel / paints on to it.
Avoid hot & spicy food.
Hope I answered your query. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Wishing you good health
Take Care
Regards
