Hi,My mother in law, aged 50 yrs, has got ulcers on her tongue. She has visited three physicians in town(kanpur). Each doctor has changed the medicines and applications but she has not got relief yet. One ulcer on tip of the tongue with the size of a chewingum has been very persistent. One Dr. suggested, this may be because of tooth, hitting the ulcer, thus not letting it dry. Advised to get the tooth removed.Planning to show to ENT in town. Please advise and also refer any good ENT Dr. in Kanpur, if you know any.Regards,Ehtisham
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. As the dentist has checked and told it is a traumatic ulcer, so you can go with the treatment if that is the cause. The ulcers can also be authors ulcers usually caused due to stress, vitamin deficiency and many factors. I would advise you to make her live a stress-free life. Have a nutritious food which includes eggs. Take multivitamin tablets. On the ulcer, she can apply Mucosal or denote locally two to three times for few days. Continue with Betadine mouth wash gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
