Suggest treatment for painful sore on tongue
Patient: I HAVE A SORE ON THE SIDE OF MY TONGUE,I THOUGHT T WOULD GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN IT'S VERY PAINFUL IT IS SPREADING TO THE BACK OF MY THROAT,ONLY HALF OF MY THROAT IS SORE,AND ON THE SAME SIDE IT HAS TRAVELED TO MY EAR WHICH IS ALSO VERY PAINFUL NOW WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THIS?? Doctor: Hello  Ulcer on the side is normal if it subsides within  2 weeks... if you have it for more  than two weeks  then you need to show  to a dentist  or ENT  SURGEON  to go for further examination.Use saline  gargle and avoid  spicy and hot food.if you are sure that it is increasing in size and is more than two  centimetres, immediately  show to a dentist.thank you.
