Suggest Remedies For Swollen And Painful Frenulum Of Tongue
Thank you.I went to the dentist yesterday &need 2of my lower teeth extracted,but need to wait due to infection.Upon exam,they found that my frenulum is turned upward,very swollen,painful,and found a purple/black spot&referred me to a pathologist in2weeks.What do you think this may be?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen and painful frenulum of tongue which could be due to injury caused by eating any hard and rough food items. It could be due to canker sores.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist once for proper diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. You should go for FNAC i.e fine needle aspiration cytology and biopsy of lesion to find out exact cause and start treatment. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid taking sharp and oily food substances.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
