How Should A Tongue Tear With Pain And Discoloration Be Treated?
You know how on the bottom side of your tongue there are little pieces of skin that hang there? Well one of those pieces on my tongue is half ripped off and hurts really bad. It hurts to talk, eat, drink. It also looks white where it looks to be ripped off. What is it?

These sound like tags or warts, small bits of squamous epithelium, ... in any case u have to get it examined in immediately . White colour may be due to action of saliva on raw surface... take anti inflammatories to relieve pain and get them surgically removed
