What Causes Soreness Inside My Mouth?

I have multipul little white soars along the lower part of the inside of my mouth, and I have tiny soare bumps all along the side and underneith of my tongue. It stings to eat most anything, brushing and using mouthwash. They are not bleeding, but they are very soar. I recently had my tongue pierced and a friend who also had hers done, said the soares on my tongue were similar to the ones she got durring the healing process of her piercing, but the white soars inside my cheeks and under my tongue were not. Any advice?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white sores or patches over the oral mucosa can be secondary to the tongue piercing. This cause a an allergic reaction kind of condition called lichenoid reaction. This is due to the metal used as a ring or ornament in the tongue. This will produce white spots over the mucosa with burning sensation.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
You need to stop using that ornament over the tongue, other wise it will not heal.
Mean while i would suggest you to use, topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
