hi everyone,
2 weeks ago I got into a car accident and bite side of my tongue.
pass forward 2 weeks, it's healing but it's still not completely gone. the tongue top surface area is healed. under the side, there is still red/sore but not hurt anymore.I went to the ENT doctor this morning. after exam, he said just monitor for 2 more weeks and it looked like trauma sore since there is also a sharp tooth sitting right under the sore. if it doesn't get better, need to come back for biopsy.
I didn't think much until the word biopsy comes in. now im all panic over the thought of tongue cancer :( im 37 years old, dont' drink or smoke at all.
what can I do to speed up the healing process? I've been gaggling with warm salt water. I will go to dentist next week to file down the sharp tooth if it's the real cause.
thanks a lot,
