Hi!Read your query.
You have aphthous on the ventral part of tongue.
These are related to stress,deficiencies and at most times., they cannot be correlated to any condition.
The best thing is rinse with warm salt water thrice daily(provided you are not hypertensive).Use mild mouthwash in other case.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
you can apply a lignocaine and metronidazole based gel for relief. You can apply this before food and rinse it off.
Avoid spicy foods and citrus fruits
