My tongue is killing me!?!
Question:
My tongue is killing me!?
The side of my tongue right by my teeth feels swollen and sore like I bit it, but I don't remember biting it. Its so sore, how can I make the swelling or the pain go away?
Answers:
take a little bit of Tylenol or (acetometaphin), then gargle every 30 minutes with some lukewarm salt water. Lucky for you, the tongue heals faster than any other part of the body. The Tylenol should ease some of the pain and swelling, the salt water gargle will help draw the bad bacteria out of the wound.
Use about 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt per about 6 oz of lukewarm water. Be sure to spit the water out after each gargle.
Good luck!!
