Suggest Remedy For Cut In The Tongue Post A Bout Of Mouth Ulcer

I have just noticed a lateral crack down the centre of my tongue.
I am 63 yrs and have recently had a few bouts of mouth ulcers / blisters which seem to clear rapidly
using Bonjela.
Could these conditions be related and how can I cure the tongue situation?
Thanking you in advance

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if the crack you are observing is just like a scratch then you need not to worry about it may have happened due to injury with some hard food or any sharp edge of the tooth..
You can apply bonjela gel if it pains and suck on ice pops..
Gradually it will heal..

But in case if it is like a deep groove then it can be due to formation of fissured tongue and although it is also not a fatal condition but you need to take special care and maintain a good oral hygiene or else there are chances of infection due to food lodgement in the groove..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
