Have A Bump On The Tongue. Had Pierced The Tongue Earlier. Is This A Serious Problem?
Ok I have had my tongue pierced before but it's been out for over a year. About 3 days ago I noticed a bump on my tongue getting more sore the longer it's there but I have never had this happen before. Today I was look at the bottom of my tongue in the mirror after brushing my teeth and when I lifted my tongue which put pressure on the bump very small amount of what looked like pus came out should I be worried?
Hello, Your tongue has inflamed or ulcerated due to piercing of tongue. I WOULD advice you to maintain oral hygiene well. Apply dologel on the affected area. Gargle frequently warm saline or betadine. Avoid intake of spicy,salty food items. Take fluids and nutritional diet. Vitamin becosules,c,supplements has to be administered. If symptoms persists,please do visit a dentist. Hope this helps.
