If its on your tongue and it is the result of a bite, it's not herpes. So, don't worry about that...\nIts called an apthous ulcer, or canker sore. There are medications that you can take to help aid in the healing, but it should go away after about a week... You could ask your dentist to recommend something, or see if he even has some samples...

You could be biting your heek or tongue. Things in your mouth heal really fast.

You may have a peptic stomach ulcer, I do and I have pain when I eat and drink most of the time, you should go see your doctor and see if there are any medications you could be on to ease the symptoms. And having a stomach ulcer isn't serious, I just had to change a few things that I ate, like cutting back on spicey foods and sodas.\n\nGood Luck, Hope you're feeling better soon.

Some ulcers are caused from bacteria. Sometimes specific antibiotics can treat an ulcer.

I think you have to let it heal by itself.  There are tons of stuff you can use to numb the canker sore while you eat so your food and drink doesn't bother you.  Zilactin is great.... Make sure you buy something that is considered oral since you have to use it in your mouth...

Dont Pop it!!!!!!!!! that may cause infection.....leave it alone and let it heal on its own....its probably a bruise......It will feel better in a couple of days and you wont even notice it.....if its really painful put some ice in your mouth and on the bruise ....that will help with the swelling and make it feel better.

Make sure that your oral care products (toothpaste, mouthwash, etc) do not contain sodium laurel sulfate.  This is a mild detergent that can aggravate canker sores.  Take a B-vitamin supplement, and try an OTC topical oral analgesic with benzocaine and tannin or tannic acid. Benzocaine will numb the pain and the tannin will coat the ulcer, allowing it to heal faster.

i have suffered from canker sores my entire life. As you probably know, once you have them, you just have to let them run their course. \n\nSome suggestions:\n\nif you can get to a doctor ask for codeine. I had 5 canker sores on my tonsils about 2 years ago. It was the most pain I have ever felt in my life, worse than the time I cracked my tailbone or got my foot run over by a car. It was absolutely awful. My doctor said there was nothing she could do and gave me codeine. It really helped. If you can't get to a doctor take 3 or 4 advil at a time. You need massive doses to calm the pain.\n\n2nd. Do not use regular toothpaste as it has an ingredient that agravates the lining of the mouth and can cause canker sores and make them worse. Ever since I changed toothpaste a get canker sores much less frequently, they are not as big, and they heal faster. Try Toms all natural toothpaste. It has been a life saver.\n\nI also read that sugarless gum can cause canker soars and I totally believe it because whenever i lose my will power and chew carefree gum, i get a canker sore.\n\nHope this helps. Get better soon.

This sounds really gross, but, it works.  Hold some peroxide in your mouth on the spot.  It will burn a little, but it usually stops the pain right away and helps the ulcer to heal. Make sure to hold it there until it stops burning.  It usually works with just one time. And it is safe, just look at all of the new toothpastes with peroxide in them.

The easiest home remedy is to apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) to the canker sore. Then dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on the canker 3-4 times a day. This is not only soothing, but appears to help healing.\n\nI think using a mouthwash such as listerine two to three times a day will keep the mouth clean/fresh and free of sores

Milk calms an ulcer. But the only way to heal them is to see a dr and be put on meds for awhile.

no, worst thing that will happen is they cut your tongue off.  nah, just stop what u were doing or eating before u got the sore and wait a week it will be gone.  in the mean time get one of those pain relief things for your sore.

By mouth ulcers do you mean the ulcers inside the mouth or fever blisters on the lips?  Both are caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus which is the most common herpes simplex virus and it's usually acquired in childhood.  The best cure for ulcers in the mouth would be to rinse several times a day with warm salt water... it has a natural healing affect on the gums and surrounding tissues.  Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of warm water.  If it is a fever blister you have on your lip I would advise you to try Abreva which can be purchased over-the-counter and use as directed.

Go to your doc asap.  In the last few years, they have found that ulcers are created by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.  Doctors are now treating them with anti-biotics.  Your doc should be able to get you a prescription for one that will help the ulcer sores heal.  Then just watch your diet for awhile.  Eat bland foods that don't stir up stomach acid; avoid stress, etc.  I know all of this from personal experience.

Hey! I'm not the only one!  That happened to me on Christmas Day 6 months ago. I had to go to the hospital because I was gagging so much.  \nThe thing that hangs is called your uvula.  It's actually pretty rare for it to swell so large that it touches your tongue but it's usually caused by a bacterial infection. \nTry ibuprofen to reduce swelling first.  If nothing improves, you may want to see a Dr.\nIf you go to the hospital, the Dr. might give you a steroid in the form of a pill or a shot.  At least, that's what my doctor did.  Take the shot if you go; it works faster.  The swelling went down to a comfortable level within 12 hours, but it took 4 days to feel normal again.  The wierd part was that I didn't really have any other cold symptoms other then a sore throat and the uvula swelling.\n\nhttp://www.biocrawler.com/encyclopedia/Uvula
