[|Human|] Hi, I woke up this morning and noticed my incisive papilla is inflamed. It looks the same colour as the rest of my palate . it hurts when i press it, but if i leave it alone it doesnt feel painful. The inflammation is quite small at the moment but i can feel it with my tongue when i talk. I m a non- smoking 25 year old male. I had been feeling quite considerably stressed for the last 3 days from work. What do you think this may be?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. First, I would like you to mention, stress usually does not cause inflammation in the region of the incisive papilla. After reading your symptoms I feel that you may have injured/scraped that region due to something hard in your food. If you keep touching the area with either your tongue or your finger, it can lead to interruption in healing resulting in inflammation and pain on probing. I would recommend you to apply any good topical anesthetic ointment in the area 2-3 times/day. Do not aggregate the lesion by touching it. It should resolve in a day or two. If the problem does not resolve, you should visit a dentist for oral examination. Hope you feel better soon. Regards
