Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should be investigated for a infection in the tounge. I am afraid that your tounge will be infected much and resulting in serious consequence.

Till that time you can use aceclofenac for swelling and pain associated with tounge.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
