Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Tip Of Tongue

I stopped using smokeless tobacco 19 days ago. About a week ago the tip of my tongue started feeling like it has been burnt by hot food. It also effects my speech s little when saying words with s in them like my tongue just doesn t fit my mouth right anymore.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concerns..

Soreness of tip of tongue can be due to either formation of canker sore, thermal or chemical burn or due to accidental biting by tongue...

You need not to worry as it will resolve soon..
For pain you can apply Lignocaine Gel over the tongue tip..
Take Advil or Motrin (Ibuprofen) for relief..
Suck ice pops as it will reduce inflammation..
Take a multivitamin tablet for 15 days..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..

In case if it does not improve in a week or if it worsen consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..
