Suggest Remedy For Soreness On The Edge Of The Tongue
I have a sore right on the edge of my tongue about half way back. This is caused from Chemotherapy. What can i do about it? I do not want it to become worse since I have two more Chemotherapy treatments and it is bothering me. I have been gargling with water, salt and baking soda. It seems to be interfering with my speech since I think my teeth ae touiching it when I speak.

If it is not responding then you topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food. You can also do soda bi corb mouth wash.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
