Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Tongue blisters can be due to number of reasons. Stress, vitamin deficiency, infections, burns from food or liquids.
I suggest you to stop using store purchased mouthwash till you have blisters. Use baking soda plus water or normal saline mouthwash.
Take multivitamins. Avoid stress. Take lots of fluids. Keep urself well hydrated as dry tongue increases pain. Avoid hot spicy and acidic foods and liquids. Use lidocaine gel on blisters before eating to reduce burning. Do not brush on blisters.
Usually blisters go in a week or two.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The blisters you are mentioning at the back of tongue, can be just the papilla of tongue, as these are present at the back of tongue and are slightly larger in size.
But if they are painful it means there must be some trauma on it. There is nothing to worry about it, just apply a topical ointment on it.
Hope it will help you.
