What do you put on a tounge ulcer when you get one? I burnt my tounge the other night whilst tasting my cooking, now I have this anoying ulcer... I just put vegiemite on it and it stung a bit, But than it started to numb it. It feels better... What do you do??

Ulcer's are disgusting and painful sores that form on the lining of your stomach, not what you get when you burn your tongue. Just suck on an ice-cube, it'll heal itself in a few days.

Tongue Ulcers, are also known as aphthous ulcer. It is distinguished by white colored ulcers on the tongue.

Also known as a Canker Sore, which you do not get from burning your tongue. If it really occurred from tasting your cooking then it's not an ulcer; it's a burn.

I used to have a lot of those canker sores as a kid. I stopped having so many when I stopped eating so much candy. Often got them when I accidently bit my cheeks. Raw honey on several times a day is good too. Rinse out your mouth with salt water. It will sting but feel better afterwards. Listerine is also good.

OWCH! Truly feel sorry for you! I would constantly rinse with a mild saline solution! One teaspoon of salt dissolved in 8 oz. of water! As you know, the human mouth is extremely unsanitary. In my many years as a paramedic, the most commonly used solution, in the ambulance was sterile saline solution, we stopped using EVEN diluted hydrogen peroxide, as it tends to burn/sear tissues. The saline solution will not hurt you, either, if you inadvertently ingest some! Have a great weekend...and Cheers!

I have the similar experience when I was a little kid. My lips got burnt at that time. I was eager to eat something. I couldn't wait and took no notice of the hot bowl. oops... Mama told me to squeeze out a little bit of toothpaste and put it on the sore ~~
