Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Tongue With Swelling And White Patches

Hi I believe I have thrush on my tongue and I have heard that gentian violet can cure it. I put some on my tongue but I am afraid I might have swallowed a little bit on accident. Will this hurt me? I am 5"1 weight 112 lbs. I just had my wisdom teeth removed and tongue is causing severe pain and has white patches and swollen.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,
