Tongue ulcers are a type of mouth ulcer. They are similar to other ulcers in that they are self-limiting and recurrent. Tongue ulcers are often caused by mental stress, so it is important to reduce stress between outbreaks. Rinsing with warm salt water and keeping the mouth moist can help alleviate symptoms.

Before and after the menstrual period, it is important to rest and relieve stress. Eating lighter food can help the ulcers heal. If the ulcers are caused by poorly fitting dentures and are persistent, it is advised to visit the dental department at a formal hospital to exclude precancerous lesions.

After developing mouth ulcers, it is advisable to supplement with vitamins and trace elements, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, keep a joyful mood, engage in physical exercise, and strengthen immunity.

If the ulcer is localized, applying recombinant bovine alkaline cell growth factor can promote the healing of the ulcer.
