How To Treat The Cracked, Dry And Burning Tongue?
I have a canker sore post dental treatment. After 1 week and severe pain, I was put on fluocinonide gel.Now 11 days post dental treatment, I think there may be a slight improvement. Not much but still with great pain. Also my entire tongue feels coated, cracked and dry with a slight burning sensation.Please help thank you

Read your query.
Canker sore usually subsides gradually by around 14 -15 days.Apply Dentogel ointment on the lesion two to three times daily.
Avoid spicy food and reduce the stress level.
Use betadine mouth wash for a while.
Keep your oral cavity hydrated with lots of fluid intake.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
