[|Human|] I bit my tongue a while ago and a piece of my tongue started to hang-off. I ignored it, but yesterday I bit my tongue again and now the piece is a bigger chunk. It really hurts, and I already tried to pick it off, but it hurts. What should I do? I tried to leave it alone, but it s super annoying. What would a doctor do about this?
[|AI|]  Hello there, You have developed a wound on your tongue to accidental biting. I suspect the wound area to be small. Small wounds on the tongue heal by their own with time provided they are not super infected or ulcerated. So care should to be taken to prevent infection of the affected site. I would suggest you to apply antiseptic oral ointment like denote topically over the wound. This helps in faster healing and relives pain by providing sedating effect. Use lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine for mouth gargling which gives soothing effect. Avoid hot and spicy food, avoid further physical trauma. Eat soft food and Chat Doctor.
