I've been dealing with really bad mouth ulcers that keep getting worse, and now there's a painful bump on my tongue making it hard to eat anything except water. The doctor prescribed creame and forte b tablets, but the ulcers are spreading even after taking antibiotics for fever that started 5 days ago. I'm scared of surgery can this be treated without it? Should I see an ENT specialist or a dentist for this? There's an image showing the sores and bump on my tongue.

It's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon for the painful bump and persistent mouth ulcers, as they could be a sign of something more serious, like oral cancer. While some ulcers resolve on their own, prolonged sores warrant medical attention. Treatment options often include topical medications or, in some cases, minor procedures, but surgery is not typically necessary.

It's a bit worrying since they're just there without any obvious cause. Should I be concerned or is this something normal? What could be causing them?
The small holes inside your cheeks, also known as traumatic ulcers or mouth sores, can be caused by accidental bites, sharp food, or minor injuries; since you're not experiencing pain, bleeding, or other symptoms, monitor the sores for healing, maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid spicy or sharp foods,

I've been dealing with some painful mouth ulcers and even have one on my tongue. Should I be taking rinifol tablets for this, or would a B complex supplement be more effective? I'm not sure which one would be better to try first and want to make sure I'm on the right track. What would you recommend?
Rinifol tablets, containing vitamin B complex, folic acid, and iron, can help with mouth ulcers and tongue ulcers, especially if caused by nutritional deficiencies
