Tongue bite?!
Question: I bit my tongue two days ago...now it is hurting in the place of the bite as there is a huge white canker sore at the same place I bit it...also on the same side, there seems to be 3 or 4 bumps on my tongue about 1 cm away fromthe bite. There is no puss coming out though. Is my tongue infected?
Also, the time I bit my tongue was while having lunch, then at night after about 10 hours I felt a pain in my neck under the jaw on the same side of the bite...The next day I woke up and the pain in my neck/throat was worse and I couldnt swallow easily. Now it is easing a bit. Is this related to the biting incident?

You should see a doctor. How deep did you bite you tongue anyway? Did it bleed? From what you described, there is a big chance of infection, especially if you're experiencing neck/jaw pain. The neck area under the jaw contains the tonsillar and submandibular lymph nodes, which become inflamed during infection.
dude just go to the doctors they will tell you whats wrong
The tongue usually heals itself quite quickly and usually if you bite your tongue it will feel much better the next day. However if you have a visible sore on your tongue and associated neck and jaw pain it's important you see a doctor. It may be infected and they can give you some medication to help
brush your tongue and use listerine and that will help if anything is wrong. if it still hurts in a couple days go to the doctor
