What Cause Soreness And Inflammation Of A Spot On Tongue?
rinse with mouthwash
Detailed Answer:
hello and thanks for writing in.
Plica fimbriata is a fold of the mucous membrane on the underside of the tongue which runs laterally on either side of the frenulum.
sometimes it becomes inflamed due to local irritation from:
~sharp edged tooth
~chewing of tobacco
~smoking
there is nothing serious to worry about.just rinse your mouth with a good antiseptic mouthwash.
stop intake of tobacco in any form if you have the habit.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
For soreness Topical anesthetic gel like Oragel can be applied.
Keep a watch and I hope the condition condition will get resolved in 5-7 days. if problem persists then I would advice you to visit a dentist for clinical examination.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care
