Q. I have white patches on the tongue. What medicines should I take?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Do not worry. It is not any type of precancerous lesion. Such patches usually come when you are not taking good balanced diet and take lots of snack items. So reduce snacks and very hot and spicy food. Have more of fruits, vegetables, and meat (only if you are non-vegetarian). Such ulcers come when there is lack of a vitamin B complex in the body. It lasts for around 10 days and will then heal fast of which three to four days may be painful. You can use capsule Becosules (B complex) once daily for 15 days. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for healthy gums and tissues.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
