hello and welcome to hcm,
first of all i would like to mention that, you have mentioned your problem very haphazardly(please don't get offended). secondly, visit the dentist assoon as possible. if the condition was lichen planus and biopsy had been done, then probably the reaction can be because of extra tissue pulled from the area, which had caused some ill feeling. lichen planus can be due to viral cause or by genetic effect as well.
chlorohexidine is helpful undoubtedly, do it for 2 times and for 10 days only if the condition subsides.
take the help of ENT specialist for sure.
rest please define the problem sequentially, and then we will see.
thanks

Hi,
Thank you for the query.
According to the history it suggests you are suffering from an auto immune disorder which had lead to all the problems you are saying about. But nothing is clearly explained the signs and symptoms and the treatment you have undergone or your undergoing.
Tongue swelling and biopsy taken suggests of any carcinoma or may be benign lesion .
I would suggest you to see a oral surgeon get all the investigations done as required depending on the clinical examination.
Hope this information helps you.
