What Causes Blisters Inside Throat And Under Tongue?

For the past 15 months I have been getting blisters in my throat and under my tongue. At first it was just my left side, but the past 2 months I have felt the blisters in my throat on the right side too. I have swollen glands on both sides and do not feel very well. I am under a great deal of stress at this time with two of my grown daughters and I do find that when I am under a lot of stress, the situation gets worse. With this last bout that started in April, I also had a cough, congestion and a severe cold, but in the past, the cold symptoms were not there. What is causing them. This time for the first time in my 78 years, I also got a cold sore on my lip on the left side. What can I do to avoid and curse these blisters?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention occur due to untreated infection which causes problem. Infection lowered your immunity that is why you are getting mouth sores .

I would suggest you to :-

- Do warm saline rinses several times a day .

- Do beta-dine rinses twice a day .

- Apply orabase gel on sores .

- Take one spoon of honey in lukewarm water daily in the morning to boot your immunity.

Consult ENT specialist (ear,nose ,throat ) for proper examination to find out the exact cause.

Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test and endoscopy of esophagus ( for acid reflux ) .

Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti allergic drug steroid ointment for cold sores or aspirin.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
