How Can Blisters In The Mouth And Tongue Be Treated?
I am getting blisters in my mouth on my tongue, checks & rough of my mouth. How do I get rid of them. My Dr. painted my mouth with some purple stuff which helped but still getting them. Now I am putting Triamcinloone Dental Paste on them but doesn't keep me from getting more. What is the next step?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that you are suffering from RECURRENT APTHOUS ULCERS causing recurring sores in mouth. It can be caused due to a number of reasons like stress, nutritional deficiency [Iron, Vitamin B12 and Folic acid], hormonal changes, acid reflux, tongue trauma due to some sharp teeth or tongue biting habit, excessive intake of sour and citrus foods, uncontrolled diabetes and other immunocompromised conditions etcetera.
You need to consult an Oral Physician or a general dentist in this regard to get evaluated and treated. For apthous ulcer, you can do warm saline gargles. Gargles with 1:1 solution of benadryl and milk of magnesia can help.
Apply numbing gel over the sore for relief from pain especially during eating. Take a multivitamin tablet for a period of 15 days. Avoid spicy, sour and acidic foods.
In case if still the condition does not subside then the physician can prescribe you to take a Steroid course as it is the ultimate treatment in case if nothing else works.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
