How do you get rid of tongue ulcers?
I'm sure most of you will have experienced those nasty little things which appear on your tongue and I don't know if they have a specific name but to be simple I'll just call them tongue ulcers. At the moment I'm overcoming the cold and an abscess on one of my gums, and two of these little bastards have appeared at the tips of my tongue; certainly the last thing I need/want in this situation. I want to rip them off but I can't and I was hoping if anyone knew any ways to help get rid of them quickly, or at least make them less painful? Thanks

I get those from time to time. I just usually leave them and wait for them to go away on their own after a few days. Sipping on a cold drink can help to soothe them in the meantime. Or even sucking an ice cube if it's that bad.
totally know how you feel. i had three at the same time and they didnt go away for about 2 months! tried everything, but the best thing is to just wait- i found that burning them and picking them made it feel much better, but it would only come back the next day twice the size and 5 times more painful!
i found that custard powder really helped though, just get a pinch of it and place it on the ulcer- u wont feel any burning sensation or anything but it really soothes it.

They annoy the hell out of me, but I just tend to leave them and they go away after a couple of days.
There are a few direct treatments:
Bonjela, Anbesol and also another cream that you can get from the Pharmacist that really cools of the area. There are also Rinstead pastels that help soothe the area.
Some people also rub salt into the ulcers directly. I've never done this as I find it really horrifically painful but aparently it dries them up right away.

Corsodyl mouth wash normally works to soothe them.
This.
And leave it alone
I think I know what you're talking about. Last time I had one I got some tweezers and ripped it off my tongue. Bled like crazy for a while but the annoying sensation it created was gone. If I'm totally honest I actually quite enjoyed the whole experience.

Not really no
Not trying to sound macho or anything but it honestly didn't hurt much at all.
