Suggest Remedies For A Sore Cut Under My Tongue

Hello there, I have a question. I have a cut under my that I have not physically seen, but felt. I have had this 'cut' for 3-4 days now, today being the fifth or fourth. I felt the cut after I went to a public bathroom and rinsed my mouth out and since then I had gotten it --directly after it. It could be coincidental.

This 'cut' makes me feel very sore. It's been getting worse and worse, today I feel very sore, my tongue can't move so much because it hurts and is very sore and my sides of my throat hurt, I have mucus, and it hurts to talk so much or open my mouth to wide.

Please help me. And thank you :)

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain it seems that the water was contaminated with either some pollutants or any chemical agents use to clean it and as you rinsed through it there happened to have an allergic reaction leading to soreness and feeling of a cut under the tongue.
You should take anti allergic medicine like benadryl or levocetrizine, do warm saline gargles, apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine or choline salicylate over the sore areas under tongue and take Ibuprofen for pain relief..
Do warm saline gargles and take a soft and cool diet..
Maintain a good oral hygiene to prevent secondary infections..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
