Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen and painful frenulum of tongue which could be due to injury caused by eating any hard and rough food items. It could be due to canker sores.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist once for proper diagnosis and start treatment accordingly. You should go for FNAC i.e fine needle aspiration cytology and biopsy of lesion to find out exact cause and start treatment. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid taking sharp and oily food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
