Suggest Treatment For Soreness On Tongue And Gums

I am having some discomfort in my mouth. It feels like the back sides of my tongue are sore and between my gums and lip it feels like it's been cut up. I haven't changed any food or medication nor have I eaten anything extremely coarse. This just started yesterday.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from inflammation inside the mouth leading to soreness inside the mouth and also feeling of discomfort like cuts over the gums and inner lips..
It is known as STOMATITIS..
It can occur due to a number of conditions like deficiency of Vitamin B12, Iron while can also be due to dry mouth, allergies, yeast infection, acid reflux etc..
As it has just started recently it can also be temporary..
You should gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.
Take Vitamin B complex supplements..
Do cool water rinses and suck ice..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..
Drink more of cool and bland fluids..
You can also take Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation..

In case if there is no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
