Help, my tongue is messed up?!


Question: Help, my tongue is messed up?
I do brazilian jiu jitsu and during training I was practice a move when my friend was trying to realistically resist so I could get a feel for the move real-time. He accidentally (while struggling) landed an upwards elbow clamping my jaw on my tongue; thus causing the worst "i bit my tongue" scenario ever. It hurt horribly initially, and then over night I woke up and it hurt to talk, eat, and drink. I took 2 aleve went to school came back, looked at my tongue and you can actually see where my teeth bit down, there's some white dots (not entirely sure if its skin bitten down, or what). It hurts terribly and I don't know what to do. What happens if I just leave it be? Should I use mouthwash? HELP!

Answers:

I sympathize and understand your pain! I have gran mal seizures and have severely bitten my tongue before. At the time it happens, I dont feel it but the after affect is PAINFUL! I have bitten all the way through my tongue before. The healing process seems extremely slow and the soreness is long lasting. Just keep your mouth clean, use mouthwash daily, and go to dr if u have any signs of infection. GOOD LUCK :c )



I would use mouthwash everyday to keep it clean, it may hurt but it will hurt more if its infected.
If it DOES get infected, go to the doctor



i think you should go to the er and get it checked out
