What Causes Pain On The Tip Of Tongue?

The very front tip of my tounge(literally) is very soar I believe because of the brown listerine mouthwash I use twice a day. It feels like it's a cut but I can't find any physical damage so it may be a burn but it hurts very badly and makes it very uncomfortable to eat or let my tounge wander. It's been hurting for days and I wanna know why is it hurting me in the first place and what can I do to soothin the pain?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you have inflammation at the tip of tongue leading to GLOSSITIS and can be due to causes like burning or chemical injury with concentrated mouthwash solution, burning with hot foods, allergic reaction to any medicine or food, Deficiencies of Vitamin B12 and iron, areas, physical injury with any sharp edges of teeth etc..
I would suggest you to avoid using concentrated solutions of mouth wash and always dilute it with half water and half mouth wash..
You can gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
You can take Multivitamin supplements daily..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Avoid very hot and spicy food..
Suck ice and rinse with cold water..
Maintain a good Oral hygiene..
In case of no improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
