Question : My tongue is sore on the front/middle part of the top, and on the sides. It is also red in those locations. It gets irritated when I eat, or when I drink hot beverages. What could be the cause?

Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having glossitis.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case, I would advice you
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily,
Plenty of fluids,
anesthetic antacid gel like mucaine gel twice daily,
tab Vitamin C twice daily &
multivitamin minerals antioxidants syrup twice daily.

You will get relief.

You will need to see your doctor to get a prescription.
