Hello there!
Multiple sores in the mouth(in your case tongue) and throat maybe due to various causes. Yes, dryness can be a contributing factor but dryness alone cannot be the cause. Sores can be due to (1) Oral infections such as fungal, viral, or sometimes bacterial too.In these cases, mouth dryness facilitates germ growth (2) Gastro-intestinal diseases as in frequent acidity, heartburns, or regurgitations. or (3) associated dermatological condition i.e skin infections or allergies. It would be really helpful in answering your queries if you could provide more information regarding your overall health or a picture of the ulcers if possible.
