tongue healing

Do you remember having burned your tongue? Or having eaten something that could have irritated your tongue (i.e., pretzels, anything really crunchy and not smooth)? I've also heard of the Milk of Magnesia and I'm sorry that hasn't helped you. Another one that I've heard of is using Mylanta - either swish it in your mouth, or even dip a q-tip into it and rub it right on the area of your tongue that is bothering you. You could also try this with the MOM.

bit a small portion of my tongue off a few days ago. It bled a decent amount at the time but stopped shortly after. Now, though it is healing there seems to be a vein that was close to being bit and is visible with only the tiniest bit of tongue covering it. Am I at risk for infection or a larger injury? What should I do? Home advice would be nice as I wouldn't like to go see a doctor I am very busy. Thank you.

soon after i developed one mouth soar in my lower lip which is not healing also white coated tongue with white doted small small ulcers. I took a HIV test on 31 Dec 2012 and on 11 of Jan 2013 ( Method : Tri dote) and both the test are negative. I would like to know still I should check again for HIV test after one month as I have small small white doted ulcers and an mouth soar which is not healing..i am worried and not able to concentrate on my work Please help..

s weird because I have a canker ulcer on the side of my tongue probably from biting or something from a few days back. It seems to be healing up but noticed a vein appearing on the sides near the location near the sore. Are these two related and is it normal to get flesh colored veins on the sides of tongue? Is this something I should be worried about? Thank you.

I would have a doctor take a look at this if its not healing. I have had the white coating on my tongue and had to take antibiotics and suck on pills the doctor gave me to get rid of it. They called it THRUSH.

The only other contact was me briefly (15 seconds) licking his testicles and the skin just behind them. Tip of tongue only. Can this activity transmit syphilis to my mouth? Two days ago I did notice a small cut inside my lower tip and my dentist (teeth cleaning) said it looked like I had bitten it. It is healing up already. What sort of sore and its evolution would I notice in the mouth if syphilis was indeed possible in this scenario? How long would it last before healing up? Thank you!

I have been getting big sores on my tongue that realy hurt and sometimes bleed a little. I haven't tried anything much to fix them, but I would like some advise.

Hello- I am 21 and was diagnosed and treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. I have none of the known risk factors except for being in the small rare group of otherwise healthy young people with oral cancer. I had a hemiglossectomy (they removed about 1/6 of the tongue - right lateral), a flap was taken from my left and a partial neck dissection. The lymph nodes came back clean as did the margins around my tumor. My surgery was 19 days ago.

from one year i get bald patch on one side of my lateral tongue, it appears at same location. it clears and shows up again after a relief of 2-3 days. antibiotics do help the healing. what is it, it also makes my lateral tongue sore. is it stress related or something physiological. It scares me. link: http://s1344.photobucket.com/albums/p641/veer_yoddha/?action=view&current=IMG_20130423_101120_20130423101253380_zpse26333b2.

I tried to touch it with a q-tip but id doesnt want to detach that easily. What is it? Is it a normal healing process of the gum or is it a dead tissue or a scab? Im seeing my dentist next week, just wanted to be sure that it is not an urgent problem.

m curious if the remedies in #3. are known to specifically help tongue pain? Have others had tongue pain that have been helped with those? Or are the suggestions just for pain in general? Yes, I see that stress could be a factor, but don't think I'm under more stress than usual, in fact less than usual. I already take extra B vitamins.

Hi there, I'd be careful using L-Lysine ointment on your tongue. It's meant for sores and ulcers. How long have you had the sore on your tongue? Is the sore on top of your tongue or underneath your tongue? Just wondering.

A week ago I contracted a mouth infection. I tried treating it with mouthwashes, diluted TCP, salt water and even oral thrush cream, but nothing worked. I saw my dentist 2 days ago and got antibiotics. The tooth is healing well but I'm still having problems with my tongue and gums. My tongue has lots and lots of tiny white spots on the ends and sides which are extremely painful all the time, it's got a strange shape at the edges.

My second question is whilst my tongue is healing (as in today it will have had just under 24 hours) would I be at risk if I got somebody else's blood in my mouth. (Not neccesary kissing. I deliver food to people and if I was too touch somebodys hand which had blood on it and then accidently put it in my mouth and that blood went on my tongue would I still be at risk of getting hiv?

The tip of my tongue taste buds seem to be swollen, itches to the touch and hurts a little if I scrape my teeth on the tongue. Prior to that I used a tongue scraper multiple times to clean my tongue. It has been over 2 weeks now and there are no signs of healing. The tongue feels the same though the rest of the mouth is not that bad like it was before.

m 48 years old and just I had my wisdom teeth removed a little over 2 weeks ago As the healing process has been taking place, I have noticed that a somewhat sharp edge of bone around the socket where my lower right wisdom tooth was has become exposed. It is on the inside part of the mouth next to my tongue. While only slightly painful, it is quite annoying as I can feel it scrape against my tongue particularly when talking.

This seems to be healing people in the Discord group. Look up Butyrate with Calcium + Magnesium from BodyBio. This stuff kills candida and helps to plug the holes in leaky gut. Butyrate also fuels the cells in the gut lining. It's the end result of what probiotics produce when you feed them with prebiotics, but you can buy it as a supplement. I personally took it, and my breathe/tongue are way cleaner after 2 days. No white film on my tongue in the morning.

Hi Doctor i had a protected vaginal intercourse with a prostitute( may be for around 20 seconds only) two weeks back and i was feeling some tingling/ burning sensation on my penis from the next day but it wasnt hurting while i pee. now, i dont feel any sensation but i have a sore tongue which appeared 3 days back and it seems its healing a bit but the sore is still there. So can someone please let me know if there is any chance of sexual disease i might have contracted basing on my symptoms?

I've been getting ulcers or canker sores in my mouth. I've never had them before. What can I do to speed healing time. What can I do for pain at home?... It's on my tongue...., ANY CLUE HOW aggravating?!!

However, I have been suffering from numb tongue for the past two weeks. Half of my tongue on the left hand side is numb and i can feel not much taste. 1. When will this problem go away? 2. What causes the symptom? 3. Anything I can do to make it back to normal as soon as possible?

That was Tuesday. Now it is Friday and my tongue is still numb. Everything else he numbed worn off except my tongue. I think he hit a nerve. Of course I went online and started reading threads and found that this can take days, weeks, or even months to go away and can actually be permanent? Now of course I am scared my mouth is numb for life! Should I be worried?

Within this month I have smoked a lot under pressure, my sleeping pattern was changed completely, irregular eating habit and more of spicy junk food, I noticed my tongue getting white, later it went away, now I have a deep cut like wound at the base of tongue, after examining i found a small whitish pus bulge around the wound, now it is paining, can feel the cut, since last month I have been ignoring oral hygiene. This wound has really scared me.

I have these recurring sores that show up on my tongue every once in a while. They used to be rare but within the past year and specifically within the past month they have become very common. One just showed up a couple days ago, making this the third to show up within this month. This one is on the very edge of my tongue and appears slightly raised, sort of like a pimple. They are very painful and make it very difficult to speak, eat, or even drink any liquids.

I would pass my tongue over the area and could feel a fleshlike protrusion. I took it for granted that this was a part of the healing process. Today when I used a mirror to closely examine the area, I saw what seems to be a dark fleshy strip embedded in the cheek. I cannot tell if something is growing from inside or if something may have lodged itself there while the areas were healing. I tried tugging at it to dislodge but am afraid that I might damage a nerve or blood vessel.
