[|Human|] Hi, I have recurring ulcers on my tongue which take several weeks to clear.  At the moment I believe the ulcers I have down the left side of my tongue are caused with me biting during my sleep.  I have previously had a biopsy and have now been referred to a maxilla facial clinic but think it a waste of time as I know these are recurring.  Can you advise.  Thanks,Sue
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Recurrent mouth ulcers occurs due to many factors like immunologic abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, traumatic incidents like self-inflicted bites at night, dental trauma, hormonal imbalance, allergic reactions. Visit to dentist and get thorough checkup done to know the cause of the ulcers. Take multivitamin tablets. Apply cortisone acetate cream topically over the affected area. Avoid intake of hot spicy foods. Use saline water gargles 3-4 times daily to give numbing effects. Use antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine twice daily. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out. Regards.
