Hi my friend bit her tongue 2 nights ago and today she is in sever pain. She hasn t been able to eat, drink, or take medication except liquid ibprofen because the pain is so bad. Now her ears are hurting and her eyesight is becoming blurred. She tried to do a glycol mouth rinse but that was painful too what is going on and is there anything she can take for pain that will help?
Hi, tongue bite is a painful condition which takes time to heal so continue with liquid ibuprofen, apply pain receiving gel to the affected area thrice daily. She can also apply lidocaine jelly over the affected area while eating food, the jelly will cause numbness and pain relief for short duration. In order to prevent mouth infection instead of using a mouthwash rinse with warm water 4-5 times a day also add 1 tsp salt in it, that will help in preventing infection and speed up the healing. Take care
