When I get a sore on my tongue, I dab a little iodine on it a few times a day until it heals. Also I would swish my mouth with colloidal silver for several minutes.Replied by HisJewel (New York) on 03/30/2023

Excerpt : "Mouth ulcer treatment
Most mouth ulcers don’t need treatment.
However, if you get mouth ulcers often or they’re extremely painful, a number of treatments and home remedies can decrease pain and healing time. These include:
- covering the ulcer with a paste made from baking soda
- using other topical pastes
- placing milk of magnesia on the ulcer
- using a mouth rinse made from salt water and baking soda
- using a mouth rinse that contains a steroid to reduce pain and swelling
- applying ice to the ulcer
- placing a damp tea bag on the ulcer
- taking supplements if you have deficiencies in certain nutrients, including vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12, zinc, and iron
- using over-the-counter topical products that are made with benzocaine, like Orajel and Anbesol
- trying natural remedies, such as echinacea, myrrh, and licorice root (may come in various forms, like teas or oils)"
