Could Painful Ulcer On Tongue And Ear Ache Be Related?
Hi there, have had a really painful ulcer on the right side of my tongue for around 5 days now and have excruciating ear ache in my right ear when I catch the ulcer or eat anything. Have already tried corsodyl mouthwash and aloclair but ulcer/ ear ache doesn't seem to be budging! Any suggestions? :( from charlotte
