1. try brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth to help keep these from popping up at all.
2. the stuff you put on your gums to numb it.. they have flavored gels
3. Try rinsing your mouth out with salt water. Sometimes helps. Maybe a touch of that tooth gel that stops teeth from hurting. I have heard of putting that on them to numb the pain. Good luck!
4. Basically this condition represents a mild inflammation of some of the tiny bumps on the upper surface of the tongue. These particular bumps contain some of the taste buds of the tongue and because of this, they contain a lot of nerves. Even a little inflammation causes these bumps to hurt much more than their size would indicate. Currently, the cause of is unknown, and there is no effective treatment besides numbing or covering agents.
5. Cepacol--(or listerine) put some on a cotton ball and put on the tongue for 5 mins. great for canker sores too
6. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day. Don't swallow it.
7. I don't know what you can put on your tongue to stop it from hurting, but I know what you should do, You should go see your doctor to find out what the reason for that occurance and let him/her treat it. Do it NOW
8. I have never heard of this before. Maybe you should see a dr just in case it may be something else. Better safe than sorry and he/she may be able to tell you a good remedy for when they come up again. Oh wait, I just saw the last line of your question. I have gotten "sores" on my tongue from those same darn candy straws. You just have to let them heal and try to remember the next time you want to eat them non stop... took me many a time to finally remember for good, lol.
9. yes get some orajel is meant for teething pain they sell it at grocery or pharmacy STORES LOOK IN THE TOOTHPASTE ISLE they also make it in adult strength numbs your mouth right up[ - you won't feel a thing :)
10. Straight baking soda. Stops the hurt and gets rid of them in less than a day.
