What Causes Small Blisters On Tongue Along With Pain In Tongue?
A couple of weeks ago I noticed 1 or 2 small blisters on my tongue that went away the following day but for the past week my tongue hurts, it's difficult to eat and feels like I have ulcers all in my mouth but I can't really see anything that appears odd. The pain is only on my tongue and nowhere else in my mouth

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blisters over the tongue can be because of the herpes virus infection The other possible cause can be because of pemphigus vulgaris. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a herpetic infection, you can take antiviral drugs like acyclovir. If it is a pemphigus, then you can take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetonide.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

The blisters over the tongue can be because of the herpetic gingivostomatitis or it can be because of autoimmune diseases like pemphigus or bullous pemphigoid. These conditions can results in blisters or vesicles, which rupture resulting in ulcers which causes pain and burning sensation.
If it is a herpetic gingivostomatitis, you can take acyclovir and topical anesthetic like lignocaine for the pain.
If it is a autoimmune disease, you can take topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide and topical anesthetic like lignocaine gel and topical analgesic like choline salicylate.
