Ahh what did i do, help me!?!


Question: I was bored. So i was looking in the mirror at my mouth for some reason and there were these tiny bumps way far back on the back of my tounge. So I tried to touch one and i scratched like two of them. It didnt hurt too bad. Then I walked away to go pet my cat (im putting off homework) and tasted something weird in my mouth, so i spit and it was pinkish and bloody. so i drank some water. And it feels really weird back there, not really hurting just weird and there is a funny taste in my mouth. I looked in the mirror at it again and theres a little pink patch where i did god knows what..

What did i do and what do i do now?!?!

nothing. you irritated it. no big deal. it'll get better just like any old scratch. calm the hell down!

Sounds like you scrathed the back of your tongue. Get some warm water and add a couple of teaspoons of salt to the water and gargle several times a day and that will heal your tongue.

Leave it alone! It will heal & be fine in the morning.

You prob'ly just tore off some tastebuds. If I were to venture a guess it probably feels mildly numb and makes your sense of taste seem a little off in that spot? Heck it'll probably feel better tomorrow.

i think u scratched up your taste buds or something

Those bumps at the back of your tongue are just taste buds. Everyone has those, they just get bigger at the far back (each section of your tongue has a different area of taste). You probably scratched one off, but there's no need to worry as your taste buds die quickly anyways and are replacing themselves every day. Just leave it and it will be fine. =)

If it has white stuff that is puss and go straight to the doctor if this does happen

It's no big deal you just irritated your tounge. Get a glass of warm water and put some salt in and gargle with it. This is also good for mouth ulcers. x
