About 3 weeks ago, I had a bout of extremely painful ulcers all over the top of my tongue. This was unusual because I normally would get them in my cheeks. They were so bad I could hardly eat anything except ice cream. I took an anti-fungal treatment (Nyastin?) I was prescribed that made no difference (the doctor didn't think it was fungal, just gave it to rule it out).
They eventually subsided so that I only had one or two at a tie, but have suddenly flared up again. This time they're along the side and tip of my tongue, and two big ones inside my cheek.
The doctor prescribed me a steroid mouthwash treatment to ease the pain, which I started today. It was a telephone appointment though, so he couldn't look at them. I'm going to try and see a GP in person on Monday as they say ulcers that last more than 3 weeks could be a sign of cancer.
Has anyone else experienced this? The ulcers are soo painful I'm struggling to sleep. And it's just so weird that I am getting so many of them all at once. I eat a balanced diet, take a multivitamin, go to bed at around 10.30 and wake up at 7. If I have lots of them, rather than one obvious one, is it less likely to be cancer?
It's so annoying because we're moving soon and it's preventing me from socialising, as eating and talking is hard, and I want to meet up with friends to say goodbye!
