Mouth sore

07/07/2008

Question:

okay, i bit the inside of my mouth like a week ago and it shows no signs of healing. it hurts really bad, how long does it usually take to heal

Answer:

In many cases, the bite simply creates an opening for bacteria to cause an ulcer. Once you started having a significant level of pain, it should resolve in 7-10 days. There are several things that you can buy at the store to help with the discomfort. They all tend to burn when you first apply them, but the relief is almost immediate.
