Is Mouth Ulcers Serious After Taking Tongue Test On Batteries?

I put new batteries in my wii yesterday and it didn't work so I took them out again and did the old tounge test without looking properly. It tasted foul and I quickly wiped my tongue but this morning I have some ulcers in my mouth. OK so I deserve it for massive stupidity but my question is how serious is it, and will I get away with just mouth ulcers?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Nothing to be panic, it is an allergic reaction or contact stomatitis in response to the batteries. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel, apply 3-4 times daily for 5 days. The lesion should heal in 3-5days. If the lesion does not heal then consult the physician immediately and take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
