Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of soreness in the tongue and gums along with excessive thirst which is mainly due to recurrent stomatitis.

I would suggest you do warm saline rinses several times a day. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. Massage with a numbing gel that is lignocaine gel. Avoid having any sharp and spicy food.

You should consult a dentist and get evaluated and get an x-ray of that particular region done to rule out the exact cause of the infection and pain and get treated accordingly. The doctor may perform oral prophylaxis or may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
