Behçet’s disease is a rare condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels and tissues. People with this disease go through recurring flare-ups and remission, and symptoms include ulcers on the tongue that are more abundant and painful than those with other causes. Soreness lasts for a couple of weeks and then passes, but returns. Most doctors prescribe pain control with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medications.
