ulcer on my tongue

[gulliver1]

What causes ulcers on my tongue and how do I get rid of them, too many lies and less talking perhaps..

[chinadog]

My daughter gets the same gulliver. Buy "Adcortyl in Orabase". Its only a small tube but it does a great job!

[sqad617]

Many causes, but aphthous ulcers are the commonest but the cause is not known.

chinadog's advice is excellent.

[eash]

It is said that ulcers occur due to stress.

[ganesh]

Stress.lies,talking? Rubbish,it's usually a little infection from a tiny cut from biting nails or a bit of food. perhaps. They are painful and can take about a week to go,but the bonjela stuff soothes them after the initial PAIN.

[ulysses100]

There are minor and major aphthous ulcers. Their cause is unknown but stress is said to play a part. Avoid acid foods like vinegar etc, and , as has been recommended already, Adcortyl A in Orabase is very good. For those who want a homeopathic remedy then Propolis mother tincture works very well indeed.
Ulcers can also be formed traumatically, especially by rubbing on the sharp edge of a tooth or filling, so smooth off any such roughness ( an emery board will suffice).

Hi Gulliver
I agree totally with Chinadog - Adcortyl is the only thing that works. Used in conjunction with a 6 month course of Vitamin B Complex it's even better. The vit tabs can be bought over the counter at Boots etc.
