I bit a chunk out of my tongue!?!
Question: I bit a chunk out of my tongue!!?
So about a week ago I was walking, talking and chewing gum at the same time!. Apparently this was a little too much for me, because I bit my tongue!. I thought, OWW! This is really annoying!.
But then about 1 week later, my tongue still hurt!. I still talked as if I were missing a chromosome, and the pain hadn't really gone down much at all!. I decided I'd take a peek at it in the mirror!. To my surprise and chagrin there was a canine-tooth shaped slice out of the front of my tongue!.
Luckily, I bit it at the very front so it didn't make and actual hole in my tongue!.!.!.just a big gash!.
So, now that it's been about 8 days, roughly, since the injury occurred, what can I do about it!. I'm sure it's too late to go to the doctor (which I wouldn't have done anyway!.!.!.nobody's gonna suture me)!.
But when should I expect the wound to heal!? What can I do to speed up the process!? I've probably lost about 2 lbs since this happened because it hurts too bad to eat!.

Ouch!! i do that to myself quite often!. For my case, 2-4 weeks!.
Use epsom salt to brush and gurgle!. It may help speed healing!.
Additional: This might be just a coincident but worth a try!. I bit my tongue and inner cheek quite often, so I do get a lot of cancor sores!. Since I been eating yogurt (every day), I notice that my wound heal a lot faster or sore stops before it come bad!. My non scientific guess is yogurt control certain bateria which can cause a wound to become seriously infected!. Give it a try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
