Is Rinsing With Hydrogen Peroxide Sufficient To Cure The White Spots And Sores On Tongue?
Hello, I have many little bumps on the tongue that seem to be 'spreading' and hurt like the dickens. For like three weeks now a few would appear, hurt and disappear only to be replaced with others. At present the entire font half of my tongue is sore with these little devils and my tongue feels like it is on fire. I rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and water and swished for a minute or so and when i spit it out all the little sore areas were white dots and spread all over the front part of my tongue. The super white spots went away in a few moments but highlighted all the places that hurt so much and burn. I saw a dentist two weeks ago on another issue and mentioned it. He looked and said nothing out of the ordinary. But it is spreading and hurting and burning. What to do????
