What Causes Soreness And Pain While Chewing And Canker Sores Under Tongue?

Here are few things to be done .
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your query and understand your daughter's pain and discomfort. I shall suggest few measures that might help her and heal ulcers:
1. Encourage her to continue and maintain proper oral hygiene .
2. Avoid frizzy drink or irritants like hot drinks or spicy stuff .
3. If the current numbing agents have not been helpful, she can try ointment containing lignocaine and choline salicylate on the ulcers 3 to 4 times a day. Check with her chemist.
4. She can start medicine containing vitamin B complex which are available over the counter. Metronidazole which is a prescription medicine can be of additional help; but it isn't available over the counter.
5. She can also start analgesics such as tylenol for added benefits.
Generally ulcers such as those are due to benign cause - stressors, nutritional deficiency and so on. And those heal in one week to 10 days. However if it doesn't heal or become more severe, then I will recommend she visits a local oral surgeon to rule out infective conditions.
At this point of time, it doesn't seem like a problem to be worried about. Try these tips before consulting the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help .
