Hi, I have a broken tooth that had cut my tongue maybe two days ago. Now my tongue is swollen, my throat is severely irritated, the right side if my face has swelled considerably and my sinuses are a complete mess. I mean constant nasal drip while still feeling totally stuffed up (and when I use a tissue the only thing that comes out is like a clear gelatin-like substance), my eyes are partially swollen, red and somewhat leaking. So did all of this spark from a cut on my tongue or is the real issue the broken tooth? (by broken I mean that a small chunk of my tooth has chipped away) Furthermore, the tooth has been this way for sometime but I do not always have these same problems. In others words I will be totally fine for a period of time and then every once and a while this happens.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain and swelling in the tongue is due to trauma caused by the chipped tooth. Sore throat can be due to bacterial or viral infection, swelling on right side due to sinusitis. I would advise you to visit to an ENT Specialist and get complete checkup done and take treatment for sinusitis. Apply colonel ointment topically over the affected area on tongue. Take saline water gargles 3-4 times a day. For broken tooth go crown placement , restoration depending upon the condition of tooth. Hope this helps out. Regards....
