Sores on tongue, sides of mouth.

I suffered from the same issues with mouth and tongue sores after beginning methotrexate- I don’t know if you’re also taking it too, but it’s a bad deal for sure. It was so painful to eat or drink anything but water! I do hope you find out what’s causing the sores ASAP. Sending prayer and good vibes your way 😊

You can make clove tea which helps a lot with oral pain. Dentists used to use it and a lot of oral products have it in them. It’s antiseptic and analgesic. Take 6 cloves in a cup, add boiling or very hot water, steep to your taste. Make sure it’s cool enough for your mouth.
You can only do it several times a day for a few days. If it causes stomach issues don’t use it. Google clove tea to find out more, especially for allergies.
It has a pleasant sweet taste, kind of like licorice and helps a lot. It also helps with toothache pain before you can get to the dentist. I always keep some on the shelf since I get mouth blisters a lot

See if your dentist will look at it. Nystatin oral suspension may help.
They also give it to infants. Spit out access, don't rinse for about 30 minutes.
An ENT could help you also.

Hope that or whatever you choose, works for you.

Best Regards

Magic Mouthwash! It’s a prescription and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. When I get those nasty sores it’s what I use. Your pcp should be able to give you a prescription for it.

I have had this problem since 1995. I carried Anbesol and Kanka even though they were not canker sores. It seems my mouth was always in some state of oral thrush. Finally, the doctor advised Lidocaine Viscous 2%. It works very well and soothes, and gives it a chance to heal. Nystatin (Magic Mouthwash) can be swished and then swallowed, or oral medications like fluconazole can help ease or eliminate mouth sores.
I am on lifelong amoxicillin 3000 mg daily, for a Sepsis infection from 2017 and the oral thrush now comes with that.. The lidocaine is my only help.

Magic Mouthwash compound works so well for my mouth sores. I also take 5 mg folic acid 6 days a week and 10,000 units of Vit A. Goof luck.

rinse with peroxide

It's erosive oral lichen planus. Only 1% of the people get it and it's hard for many doctors to treat. I take 500mg of Valcyclovir and 100 mg Fluconosole. Be your biggest advocate and ask for the treatment you want.Again, only 1% have it and doctors don't have the experience to advise. Best of wishes, Laurie

Sounds like lichen Planus . I was diagnosed five years ago. Only Dexmethasone mouth wash helps me. And staying away from spicy food.
Another website called StuffThatWorks has lots of people talking about their Experiences with Lichen Planus and Geographical Tongue. Hope this helps.
Stay positive. It does get better 💐

Thanks for all the help! Especially the duplicate remedies.
My biggest is fear is that one person told me this could be a sign of systemic infection from my hip replacement Dec 2024z
