[|Human|] the pother day i noticed that when i ate i was getting a bit of pain on the bottom of the tongue. it continued for a couple of days so looked in a mirror and noticed that on the bottom of the tongue on the left next to where the little vain/vine things are there was a little piece of skin that had apparently broken so its just hanging there. was wondering what can i do to get the pain to go away
[|AI|]  Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint a small piece of skin hanging on the underside of the tongue can be Pica Imbricate which is a small mucosal fold, and it is a normal structure and not an abnormality.... Although it can get inflamed due to some trauma caused by some hard food or any chemical or thermal burn and can become painful. You need not worry as it will be fine soon, and you can apply lidocaine gel or travel for relief. You can suck on ice pops and gargle with cold water. Salt water rinses can be relieving. In case of pain you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Advil. Avoid any hot or spicy food till it heals. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
