    Move..... OR..

    OTC medicine: Any pain or discomfort caused by the lesions may be treated with an over-the-counter pain medicine like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium.
    Prescription medicine: Your doctor may prescribe a corticosteroid rinse to help reduce the inflammation. A mouth rinse with a mild anesthetic may also help reduce pain and irritation.
    Avoid problem foods: If you experience greater irritation with certain foods, avoid them. Foods that commonly cause irritation or a burning sensation include hot or spicy foods, acidic foods, salty foods, and sweet foods.
    Avoid flavored toothpaste: Toothpastes that are highly flavored or have added astringent cleaning ingredients may irritate your tongue.

    There is no "cure". It's essentially where a portion of your tongue loses some of the rough lining intermittently..... In this condition and as said previously, avoid things that sting the thinner mucosa and/or use a topical rinse to help numb the area...
    Steroid rinses for this is new to me??!!
