Hi Pat: I've had all sort of sores on my tongue, even though what I had was tonsil cancer - I guess it's a carry-over from the treatments. There are a number of Magic and Miracle mouthwashes that ease the soreness, and your ENT can prescribe one to your drug store if you called. My mouth stays sore most of the time, even though it's been almost 4 years since my treatments. I'm sure others will join in when they see your post, so you'll get plenty of suggestions. Hope you find one that will help. julieann
