If symptoms persist after 4 weeks of treatment or f symptoms recur after the medication is stopped, then you should have further investigations. Alarm sympotoms that require immediate evaluation in clude weight loss, vomiting, GI bleeding. The first step in workup would be an upper endoscopy.

The blister sores on your tongue may represnet viral infection or local trauma. Gastrointestinal disease e.g. Crohn's Fisease can have blister formation. If the blisters persist or the number of blisters increases, then you should visit with your doctor.
