Hello tracy,

Your tooth infection must be causing you so much discomfort, and if it has gone down and up your face, then you will be getting a lot of uncomfortable feelings. It must be really hard for you to take your mind off it, and I expect you are getting all sorts of weird sensations in and around the mouth. Please try not to worry about your tongue, because I am absolutely certain it cannot be affected in a way which will cause you harm, and you will not choke on it. It is just an unpleasant sensation. Try to steady your breathing and focus on something else, which is difficult I know when you are feeling uncomfortable and anxious.

Do hope you will be feeling better soon:hugs:

Hi tracy,

So glad you are in contact with your dentist, and do hope your problem will resolve soon. I can understand how distressing it must be to have these physical symptoms as well as the anxiety. I hope you can be reassured about your tongue and will be feeling a whole lot better about it soon. x x
