Question:

I had an epileptic fit on 30/06/07, i bit my tongue quite bad.Can anyone tell me when my tongue might heal?

I have never had a fit before, have a neurologist appointment soon.The scarring on my tongue is bad, very dark red.The scarring is down the sides of tongue, mainly on the left side. It is hard to eat, swallow and my speaking is badly impaired.


Answers:

It takes a few days to heal. I have epilepsy, and I've bitten my tongue so hard I left bite marks along the edge that lasted for 3-4 days. Fortunately, the mouth heals faster than most areas of the body, so it should be healed within a few days. Just watch for infection--mine have never gotten infected, but the human mouth has more germs and bacteria than just about anywhere else.
