Hello,

It seems that soreness in mouth, gums, lips and tongue along with ulcer or sore formation seems to be due to Apthous Stomatitis leading to inflammation inside mouth and along with it there seems to be apthous ulcers or canker sores.

It can be due to deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, physical trauma to the tongue, allergies, acid reflux et cetera.

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests can help in diagnosis. Treatment of underlying cause will relieve the symptoms.

As of now, you can start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve the symptoms. You can also take a multivitamin tablet daily.

You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. Suck ice and do cool water rinses and avoid spicy food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
