These are the commonest homeopathic treatments used for tongue ulcers - but as with all homeopathic remedies the choice of treatment may depend more on your underlying condition than on the fact that you have tongue ulcers. If in doubt please seek advice.
Tongue Ulcers Homeopathic Treatment :
Arsenicum album
A person who breaks out in burning, painful mouth sores, and also feels anxious and tired, is likely to benefit from this remedy. Hot drinks often ease the pain, and the person feels best when keeping warm. They often have unhealthy, easily-bleeding gums, and tend to be extremely neat and tense. Arsenicum album is recommended when the mouth is dry and burning, and the ulcers are soothed by warm water. Restlessness and anxiety are felt. Often caused by stress and worry.
Borax
This remedy is often helpful when mouth ulcers feel hot and sensitive. Sores may break out on the inside of the cheeks, on the gums, and on the tongue. Produces profuse saliva, yet still feels dry inside the mouth. Other indications are: sensitive to noise, suffers from motion sickness, bleeding ulcers when touched, and hot and tender mouth.
Other possible options include:
Calcarea carbonica,
Nux vomica and Sulphur
The advice above applies to people who are in good general health. If you have a pre-existing health problem or problems with immune system suppression then please seek early medical help if you develop mouth or tongue symptoms
