How To Get Rid Of Itchy/sore Tongue?

I hv had itchy/sore tongue at tip for months. I bite on it or rub against my teeth day & nite (in my sleep). I hv been using Gly-Oxide, 2 - 3 x's day, but really doesnt help. I tend to live w/it & ignore it until I find myself biting it so hard that I cause bleeding or lots of pain. Saw dentist in Dec, already started probably Oct. She said may b due to stress & the yellow/green color that had formed on top of my tongue was possibly due to meds. (Discolored tongue has cleared). What the heck is causing this itching & what can I do? I'm getting desperate.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the soreness of the tongue could be because of the trauma causing ulcer. or the soreness could be a aphthous ulcer or it can be lichen planus also. consult a oral physician to rule out these things and get it diagnosed. mean while you can use topical anesthetic and analgesics. i hope my answer will help you take care.
