How To Get Rid Of Sore Throat?

Hi,
I have had a sore throat for about a week and then I started getting a painful tongue.
I have now noticed that I have red spots on the side of my tongue and underneath.
I also have white spots on the inside of my bottom lip.
Can you help me please?

Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that you have developed ulcers on the tongue, in throat and inside the lower lip. The ulcers can be due to viral infection, deficiency of Vitamin B complex or stomach upset.

If it is due to viral infection, you will have to wait for 7-10 days until body's immunity takes over and then the ulcers will heal by themselves. For symptomatic relief, you should apply local Benzocaine gel (Mucopain) over the ulcers 3-4 times in a day and should start Rebagen three times a day.

If it is due to Vitamin B complex deficiency, supplements of this vitamin complex will help in healing of the ulcers. You can take B-Folcin once a day for a month.

If you are having constipation along with the ulcers, using stool softners or laxatives will help in clearing the stomach as well as healing of ulcers. If you are leading a stressful life, give your self a break and go for yoga or meditation to have relaxation and heal the ulcers.

If the ulcers do not heal in 7-10 days, a dentist should be consulted for clinical examination of the ulcers and necessary investigations.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
