Q. How can I manage a sore tongue with a burning sensation and numbness?
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old male, and recently I have been suffering on and off with a sore tongue. It sometimes feels like a burning sensation or a slight numbness, and it does not hurt during swallowing and has not affected my speech. Eating and drinking make it feel better, and sometimes it feels normal as well. I tried looking into the back of my mouth and noticed a small bump on the right side of my tongue, where the pain normally comes from. The pain is bearable, but it is a bit annoying. I do not drink alcohol or smoke and I am not using any medication. I will attach a photo of my tongue.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the image you have attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), and I identified it as an ulcer. I suggest you follow these measures.
(Consult a specialist doctor, talk with them and take medications with their consent.)
1. Start Vitamin B complex tablet twice daily after some food.
2. Apply Choline Salicylate and Lidocaine-containing gel before eating anything.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
I hope I have solved your query.
Thank you.
