Suggest Medication For Soreness And Bump On The Tongue

I've got a sore and sometimes painful spot on the right side of my tongue slightly smaller than a dime. It's sensitive to spicy foods. It's only been there for a few days, it showed up right as a canker sore healed. I just got my wisdom teeth out and an under a decent amount of stress.I'm 20 years old and I also have been chewing tobacco for a year and a half. Any help would be appreciated

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it a sore on tongue slightly lesser than the size of dime and sore to spicy food seems to a Major Apthae that is a large sized variant of Canker Sore..
As it is present just a few days, it does not seems to be anything serious..
I would however suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and he can do a clinical examination and if required a Biopsy can be advised to confirm the cause.
Completely stop chewing tobacco and on case if you are addicted you can break the habit by taking Nicotine replacement therapy in the form of Nicotine patches and chewing gum..
You can be advised to take a multivitamin tablet daily..
Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
You can suck ice and do cool water rinses..
You can also take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
