What Causes Soreness Inside Mouth And White Pimple At The Tip Of Tongue?

I have developed soreness over the last couple of days, particularly on the tongue and roof of the mouth. The tip of the tongue is the most sore and very red. Now I also have a white pimple on the tip of the tongue. All food and drink doesn t taste nice. The back of the roof of the mouth feels like it is covered in tiny spots .Ps, my tongue has some deep furrows. My mother also had this. I doubt this has any significance, but I can t be sure.Thank you for considering this condition!

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain you are suffering from APTHOUS STOMATITIS which is leading to inflammation of different mucous membranes of mouth as well as formation of small painful ulcers and the exact cause of it is unknown while a few factors like Nutritional deficiency [Vitamin B12, iron and folic acid],stress, immunosuppression etc..
You need not to worry as the ulcers and inflammation will subside in a period of about ten days..
-Do warm saline gargles..
-For relief from pain and discomfort you can apply a numbing agent like Lignocaine gel over the ulcers for relief from pain especially during meals..
-Gargles with a numbing mouth wash can help..
-Apply a steroid based ointment over the sores for relief from inflammation..
-Sucking ice pops can help..
-Take a multivitamin tablet daily for 15 days..
-Take Colchicine 0.5 mg twice daily for 5 days..
-Take Medrol twice daily for 5 days..
Avoid hot and spicy food and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards..
