Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query soreness on tongue could be because of canker sore it could be becaus eof irregular tooth margins, cold sore, apthous ulcer, burning mouth syndrome as well. I would suggest you to start with natural remedies for this. Oral hygiene is first and foremost requirement. Brush daily twice a day with super soft bristles brush. Use antimicrobial mouth wash to prevent bacteria from staying in mouth. Dip cotton in levander oil or apple cedar and apply for 10-15 min. Avoid salty and spicy food. You should do warm saline/ betadine gargles on daily basis. Use iron , folic acid and vitamin B12 rich tablets for better recovery. Milk of magnesia and NSAIDS drugs hydroquinone is good for sores. It will take around 6 weeks for canker sores to recover completely. Need not to worry about it. Your symptoms will resolve soon. If your symptoms persists even after that then visit dentist and get it diagnosed properly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
