Hi,
I am having oral ulcer on the left edge of my tongue for the past 2 days. Yesterday, I visited my dentist and he prescribed me 1) Metrogyl DS Gel , 2)Tab Zincovit and 3) Clohex ADS mouthwash.
I am having acute pain and burning sensation even if water touches that part.
I am applying the given medicines, and on cold semi solid diet without oil and spice. Pl suggest me any remedies.
