Pain After Biting Tongue, Cannot Eat Or Drink, Taking Liquid Ibuprofen, Ear Pain, Blurred Eyesight
Hi my friend bit her tongue 2 nights ago and today she is in sever pain. She hasn t been able to eat, drink, or take medication except liquid ibprofen because the pain is so bad. Now her ears are hurting and her eyesight is becoming blurred. She tried to do a glycol mouth rinse but that was painful too what is going on and is there anything she can take for pain that will help?
please get the tongue bite checked by a specialist as to know the extent or the depth of bite. if it is not much deep it will resolve by itself. avoid spicy food . apply dentogel or mucopain over the cut arear if it is so uncomfortable.
hi, tongue bite is a pinful condition which takes time to heal so continue with liquid ibuprofen, apply pain releiving gel to the affcetde area thrice daily. She can also apply lignocaine jelly over the affected area while eating food, the jelly will cause numbness and pain releif for short duration. In order to prevent mouth infection instead of using a mouthwash rinse with warm water 4-5 times a day also add 1 tsp salt in it, that will help in preventing infection and spped up the healing.
Take care
Hello & welcome,
Stop intake of Ibuprofen your friend is taking for pain because in 0.5 % people ibuprofen can not only cause blurred vision but also diplopia..!
This side effect of ibuprofen is very rarely seen & is transient, returning to normal on stoppage of drug intake. So don't worry about that.
Now for tongue bite, visit your dentist to rule of need for suturing if bite injury is extensive. If injury is self limiting, then only Antibiotics to avoid secondary infection & proper pain killers can be given to you by your dentist or physician only.
Avoid hot food stuff even hot drinks along with spicy items as it may aggravate the pain & intervenes with the healing of wound .
And Don't forget to explain about blurred vision you encountered before your dentist prescribes you any medicine. You should keep a small paper always with you explaining that you are sensitive to ibuprofen ( you can go for hypersensitivity tests for the same drugs under medical supervision ).
hello and welcome,
the tongue bite has caused ulceration of tongue.
please stop taking ibuprofen as it can rarely cause blurred vision.
apply any pain relieving gels like mucopain gel or dologel.
if needed,visit your dentist and get the suturing done on the site as it can fasten healing.
please stop taking mouthrinse.take warm saline rinse.
if it is ulcerated,take
tab.flanzen-10mg,thrice daily for 3 days
tab.wysalone-5mg,thrice daily for 3 days.
please avoid intake of any hot/spicy food.

hello. Basically tongue bite is a self limiting condition which requires time for healing. For pain relief you can continue with liquid ibuprofen as you have mentioned above, or increase the dose after consultion your ENT specialist. There is as such , no relation between tongue bite and blurred vision, so for that you may kindly show to your ophthalmologist. Thank you.
