Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Soreness in mouth and tongue can be due to the medication that you are taking for the bipolar disorder as these drugs can cause dry mouth that in turn cause inflammation inside mouth..

So my suggestion is to consult your Physician and discuss about your symptoms so that he can either change the dose of drugs to lower doses or can change to drugs with less side effects..

For now you can start gargling with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash, suck ice pops and do cold water rinses..
Chew sugar free chewing gums and drink plenty of water..
Avoid spicy and acidic foods..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
