What Causes A Sore Frenulum?

I had unprotected oral sex last night on my girlfriend (I am a female) I am also tongue tied so my tongue is very short and is uncomfortable to stretch it in general (it doesn’t go past my bottom lip). I woke up this morning and my frenelum was sore and there is a white bump on it, I’m not sure if this is from me stretching my tongue so far or if it’s an std. help would be appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like there is inflammation and injury to the frenulum and the white sore is due to a canker sore formation. It can be due to other causes like eating lots of spicy foods, toothbrush injury etc.

So my suggestion is to apply Lidocaine gel over it and do warm saline gargles. Take the soft diet and avoid spicy and irritant foods. Take a Vitamin B complex daily. Avoid irritating or stretching it further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
