Tongue ulcer and ear and throat pain

[Ter1971]

Thanks in advance for reading and any advice much appreciated. For about 2-3 weeks I’ve had an ulcer on the right underneath edge of my tongue, plus a sore throat and ear pain on the same side (right). I’ve seen 2 ENT consultants who were reassuring- put a camera up my nose to see the throat and nothing showed up there. But I’m worried the ulcer isn’t going and that’s what is causing the referred ear/throat pain - main worry is oral cancer. One of the consultants said they’d do further investigations (scans, biopsies) if it hadn’t gone in 3-4 further weeks. I’ll be worried the whole time! Has anyone had anything similar? Thank you

What are you treating the ulcer with?

Try salt water in cooled boiled water. Swill it around your mouth several times a day. I took a chunk out of my tongue the other day and one day of the salt water and it's fine...
