Ulcers on tongue

[timbo267]

Hi not sure if this is just me... I have had ulcers in my mouth before and have them now but now I have ulcers on my tongue and they are pretty painful. Does anyone have any ideas or know how to get rid of them or at least ease the pain.

Have you been diagnosed with IBD. I've had mouth ulcers with crohns flares. I'd talk to the doctor.

I get them on my tongue more than anything. They swell a bit then I end up biting them Owies

They are not fun just another thing to live with I guess

For me, ulcers are a strong indication of a flare - are you currently flaring?

I get them often too. My GI prescribed a steroid ointment called Oracort for them, as some have been very bad , to the point of not being able to eat. It's a wonderful thing to have on hand. I use it at the first sign of a sore, at bedtime, and it is nearly cleared up in a day or so. They never got too large or bothersome anymore.

I get them at the start of a flare ,I'm in the UK n I find that a oiment called igloo really helps its about 6\7pound for a tiny tube but its worth paying out hope this helps you x
