Blisters on tongue

	Asked by ma (Female; 45; healthy ) on Thu 26, Nov 2009 07:33am :
	I have painful itchy blisters on the tip and just behind the tip of my tongue. My daughter had one blister and it went away in 2 days. Mine has been lingering a bit longer, with no end in sight (4 days). I am presently rinsing my mouth with an OTC oral peroxide rinse. Would love to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with the family, but am not sure that will happen. Is this simply a virus and I need to just hang on until it clears out?

	Answer by Dr. Pankaj Khater (doctor) on Fri 27, Nov 2009 08:21am: Hi there. Welcome to the forum! This can be simple vitamin deficiency, some viral infection, from eating hot food or autoimmune disease like pemphigus. You need to take vitamin B complex and maintain your oral hygiene. Please keep us posted for any further queries. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
