Ive got a ulcer inside my mouth on my tounge. It is very sore. I've tried many things such as salt (i don't know why) and some gel called bonjela but it hasn't worked and has been there for days. I need something I can do now to make it better! please help.

WOW!!! Salt on an open wound????
Use Ora-Jel or Anbesol to deaden the pain so you can brush your teeth regularly. Wet your finger and dip in Baking Soda (Arm&Hammer) and apply soda to the ulcer.
Go to your local health food /vitamin store and buy Lysine.
Take 2000mg Lysine twice a day for 3 days, then cut back to 1000mg twice a day. Once the ulcer is gone, continue for 2 days, then you can stop, till your next out-break.
-OR-
You can goto your doctor and pay a lot of money for the visit, tests, and prescriptions...

They have meds for canker sores that come in a gel. You put it on the sore. It tastes nasty but it kills the pain and it heals the sore after a few days.
