Hi Mercedeh,
It might be possible that your boyfriend may have hurt or burnt underside of tongue while eating. Pizza or sandwich can do that some times.
However, it would have been good if you could describe how long has he been suffering from pain or if you can see presence of ulcer or lump in the area.
It sounds more like an ulcer and may take 3-5 days to heal. Meanwhile, to get relief, you can apply Mucopain or Dologel in the area 3-4 times a day, preferably before eating. It has an anaesthetic component that will numb the area for some time, so eating will be troublefree.
If you find presence of lump or swelling in the area, do consult a dentist or physician promptly for physical examination.
If pain does not subside in 5 days, I would suggest to consult densist for physical examination.
I hope this information helps. Thanks for choosing HealthCareMagic.
