I have canker sores on the bottom of my tongue, the glands in my throat are very sore. Whyyy???

Question

my tongue is also sore and kind of white in the back. it is very painful to eat and i dont know why this is happening. I am normaly very healthy. Anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

It could be lots of different things. Such as strep throat, gonorehha, thrush. I would definatly go to the Dr. Whenever you see white on your throat, that means infection. The only way to get rid of it is to take antibiotics. A Dr. would probably give you pennisilin(however you spell it) well, he would not give that to me because I am allergic to it. But it's probably strep throat unless you have had oral sex lately. I've had strep many times, it's painful, and WILL NOT clear on its own. It only gets worse.

Answer 2

It is probably a viral infection and as others said it can also be a stress reaction. The biggest problem is making sure you drink enough to prevent dehydration. You can eat and drink anything you want but it is painful. The pain is worse if the the fluids or food are saltyl, spicy, acidic, very hot or very cold.
You should drink at least one or two ounces every 30 minutes or so. It will hurt less if you use a straw because you can avoid getting the liquid on the sores at least partially.
These sores initially are not even visible there is just pain, then there is a red spot then a white capped area that eventually opens up and forms an open crator. It sounds worse than it is but it is painful. You can take tylenol or ibuprofen as directed to help with pain and/or fever which you may also get.
They usually resolve in 7 to 10 days. If the cause is a coxsackie virus they will continue to come out for 5 to 7 days and you will be better in 10.
Strep throat does not cause sores in the mouth or on the tongue, they are in the throat.
As far as some of the remedies already given, as a nurse I would say NO WAY!! Not only because they won't help but because they will cause unneeded pain. These would include but are not limited to alcohol, peroxide, vinegar, salt, and others. There are prescriptions that are available for pain and to possibly shorten the length of the virus or lessen its severity but not all doctors believe in using these.
Hope this helps and you feel better soon.

Answer 4

Canker sores are open wounds. Your body is fighting an infection in the site of the sore. That is why your tonsils are swollen and painful. Are you under any kind of stress? I get canker sores when I'm under stress or when I lack sleep for few days.
You can ease the pain with some sort of oral anesthetic gel or if the pain is unbearable you can try taking some Tylenol. Sometimes it helps if you hold some liquid Tylenol in your moth for a couple minutes before swallowing it. Another option, is to ask your doctor for Magic Mouth Wash. It is a compound of Benadryl, Lidocain and Maalox that you swish and swallow. Another option, if your doctor recommends, is Nystatin Suspension that you swish and spit several times a day.
Canker sores are annoying but most of the times they clear on their own. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 5

If it is actually canker sores try the spice alum on them it should clear up in a few days. Very inexpensive and its the best treatment I have found. I tend to get them if I have an injury in my mouth(bit my tongue, burnt my tongue, etc) or if I am stressed.

Answer 6

An aphthous ulcer or canker sore is a type of mouth ulcer which presents as a painful open sore inside the mouth caused by a break in the mucous membrane. The condition is also called aphthous stomatitis, especially if there are multiple or recurring mouth ulcers.

The exact cause of aphthous ulcers is unknown. In some cases they are thought to be caused by an overreaction by the body's own immune system. Factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, sudden weight loss, food allergies, and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, and folic acid. Some drugs, such as nicorandil, have been linked with mouth ulcers. A well known cause for ulcers in the mouth is when the skin inside the mouth is opened up, a common cause of this is biting one's lip or any tissue within the mouth.

Home remedies
Other home remedies vary in efficacy. Certain techniques heal mouth ulcers for some people, but there are no treatments with widespread medical support. Most seem to be based on an antiseptic, an antacid, or both. Purported home remedies include the following:

Get a fresh lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the lemon juice from it. Remove the seeds that come out and drink the juice. Consume a glass of water right after because lemons are acidic. Keep doing this for 4-5 days until it goes away. WARNING: Rather painful but helps.
Gently clean mouth ulcers by roughening with a toothbrush; when clean, apply antiseptic.
Swab mouth ulcers with sea-buckthorn fruit oil or hydrogen peroxide.
Rinse regularly with tasty Ginger, Lemon & Honey Tea. All 3 ingredients have strong anti-bacterial properties. This has been found very effective by some people, with white caps disappearing within 24 hrs.
Rinse the mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash (e.g., Listerine), which can relieve pain for a few hours. This effect has been known to diminish over time in some individuals after prolonged usage.
Apply carbamide Peroxide (Gly-Oxide®) directly to the ulcers, and swish around mouth.
Rinse the mouth with salt water—1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water (a.k.a. a saline solution).
Take Lysine-L supplements.
Rinse mouth and especially the affected area with sage tea 3 times a day. The improvement can be seen as early as within 24 hours.
Paint half-strength gentian violet solution on the ulcer.
Gargle a mouthful of warm vinegar with a half-tablespoon of salt for about 30 seconds, 3 times per day; this may be extremely painful,immediate removal of white viscous cap on the sore, providing pain relief after rinsing quite quickly, but healing can be seen in as early as 2 days.
Apply oil of cloves using a cotton swab or Q-tip. This is initially very painful, but will result in a period of time where the affected area is quite numb, allowing painless chewing or talking.
Some have applied anise directly on the ulcer.
Hold moderately concentrated alcohol in the mouth over the area of the ulcer, presumably because of alcohol's diuretic effect (and, likewise, the more concentrated, the more diuretic), although there is no direct evidence to support this.
Similarly the direct aplication of a small layer of salt to the canker sore, while very, very painful for the first 10 seconds or so, will numb the area for about 30 minutes to an hour.
Bee propolis may speed healing and provide pain relief due to its anesthetic and anti-bacterial properties.

Antacid techniques suggested include the following:
Swab the ulcers with Milk of Magnesia.
Apply powdered alum, a spice used in canning, dry directly to the ulcers— available in the spice aisle at grocery stores; this can be very painful at first, and then sore will be numbed.
Make a paste of baking soda and water; apply directly to the ulcers.
Rinse the mouth with a baking soda-water mix—1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water.
Make a paste of crushed Tums (antacid) and water—apply directly to the ulcers.
Avoid acidic foods such as tomato, citrus, soft drinks, and vinaigrette salad dressings.
Apply a yeast-based spread such as Vegemite, Marmite, or Cenovis directly to the ulcer.
Make a mix of half Mylanta and half Benadryl, and hold in the mouth for up to 3 minutes.
Combination therapies recommend the use of the antiseptic before the antacid; that is, swab mouth ulcers with hydrogen peroxide and then swab them with Milk of Magnesia.

A good temporary remedy for the pain of the mouth ulcer is to numb the affected area with ice. Although this may cause intense pain in the beginning, it is highly effective and lasts for about half an hour, depending on the number of ice cubes used and the time spent using the ice cubes.

Having said that, you should consult a doctor if your condition persists.
