Side of my tongue hurts?

Q: For almost two+ weeks now the lefts side of my tongue has been hurting. It almost feels like a canker sore or something (it has a sort of white-ish bump plus some smaller red-ish bumps on the side where it hurts…they almost look like a pimple or something similar) but usually it would just go away within a few days. I has been a few weeks and still no relief. It hurts and I don’t know what to do about it. Any suggestions as to what it might be, what it could be from, and what I could do to get rid of it?I do not smoke or use smokeless tobacco or anything similar. Also, my tongue has a sort of white coating towards the back of it. What is this?

A: You could be gritting your teeth at night and your tongue if it should happen to get in the way. Could easily be a nighttime behavior of some kind that occurs while you sleep. Could also be a food allergy so watch for patterns. (Some people are extremely allergic to red food dye).Can try swishing with nothing but salt water (no hydrogen peroxide and no listerine, etc). 1/2 tsp salt to one half glass of water and see if its natural astringent qualities help to not only cleanse but also toughen.little sores in the mouth can be so painful. Good luck……
