Yes, salt can potentially cause tongue sores, particularly if it is used excessively or if the tongue is already irritated or injured. Salt can exacerbate existing sores or cause discomfort due to its abrasive nature. Additionally, some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to high concentrations of salt, leading to irritation. It's best to moderate salt intake and seek medical advice if sores persist.

Can Vicodin cause tongue blisters?

I doubt the Vicodin caused the tongue blisters but it could have triggered the virus that is the cause of tongue blisters (canker sores on the tongue). They can be treated at the dentist office or a general practitioner's office. There is a solution that will help with the pain and treatment of the sores. If you have a dentist just go there and they will probably see you without an appointment since it only takes a few minutes to give you the solution.


How can I get rid of tongue sores?

There are several natural methods of treating tongue sores. The first is applying salt directly at the sores, which, while would sting, will eventually dissolve the sore. Another similar method is applying baking soda three times a day, by forming it into a paste, made of water and baking soda first. To avoid tongue sores at all, it is best to avoid spicy foods.
