Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query soreness on tongue and my mouth could be due to either viral infection known as Cold Sores caused by herpes simplex virus or it can be due to Canker sores/Apthous ulcers. Apthous ulcers however can have multiple causes to appear and at times there are no considerable cause for it. Stress is one of the major cause for these type of ulcers and poor immune system of body exaggerates condition. I would suggest you to visit oral pathologist once and get evaluated and get the necessary laboratory investigations done to rule out the cause of the sores and treatment can be done accordingly. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Take antiviral drugs such as acyclovir. Maintain hydration level of body by drinking plenty of water. Apply dologel on finger and rub on these ulcers for 5-7 mins. Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
