Tongue Sore05/05/2011 |
I have recently been scraping my tongue across my teeth, and wedging it in between grooves of my teeth, causes a sore spot on my tongue. I am in a lot of pain. There are also raised red taste buds throughout the rest of my tongue. It if finals week at my University, so I think this action is caused my stress. I have also been drinking a lot of coffee. How can I correct this problem? What can I use to help the pain?
Try not to irritate/ aggravate it any more. You might apply any over -the-counter oral ointment/moisturizer/lubricant like orabase as directed.
