Question: I have swelling under the front of my tongue with white sores that are very painful. Also the tip of my tongue and sides are inflamed and I have at least one sore on the roof of my mouth. My diet, fluids, noe medications have changed. I am on multiple meds for a-fib and am trying to see my doctor. Just looking for some relief until I can see him. Thanks

Brief Answer:
oral and topical agents may be useful

Detailed Answer:
HI,

If using one of the meds is not an option, you can also try topical agents such as chloroseptic spray/gargle or covonia spray. These contain a combination of pain medication and an antiseptic, they are commonly used for sore throat but can be used in other circumstances as well where there are lesions in the mouth.

Gargling with salt water in the mouth, may also help as well

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
Thanks.
