Is my tongue infected?!


Question: Is my tongue infected?
Well, a few nights ago I had a bowl of cup o' noodles. i burnt my tongue a bit but then the pain went away so i dismissed it. Now on the tip of my tongue I have this little bump, call it what you will, but it is really very painful and i was wondering what is wrong with it how i can help it (ps. i already had ice cream and iced my tongue)

Answers:

because of the hot noodles the tongue tissue is burnt and it takes 10-12 days for new taste buds to grow.
till then you can avoid spicy/hot food stuff.continue with cold food intake like juices,ice-cream,shakes.



You have an irritated taste bud, it is possible that it is infected, but I doubt it.

I've had these before, especially after damage (burning tongue)

Give it a few days, try not to "mess" with it (I know it's hard) and it should heal up fast, your tongue is the fastest healing part of your body.

If you have swelling or pus or anything, you need a doc, but like I said, I doubt it.



It sounds as if you may have a blister from burning it. If it continues to hurt or have pus you should see your doctor.



i get that a lot.
