What Causes Blood Filled Painful Blister On Tongue?
I had a big knot form on the left front almost tip of my tongue 2 day ago when I woke up that morning for the first day of 3 of papaw funeral. It was huge & very sore to touch. It felt like it would explode from what ever fluid is filling up inside it. I couldnt take the pain and the pressure I was feeling on my tongue so I looked closer. I noticed a small hole that was leading into my tongue towards center of knot. I thought could it be just a big ass bump on my tongue with the head right there. I took a small needle and slowly put it in hole and let it go on it own and it end up well into the center of knot. When I pulled out red blood pored long time followed by some blacker blood. The pressure build up feeling was totally gone. I thought that's it. Last night and today it looks like that never happened. No bigger no small same spot with pressure feeling little more. I thought bump at first now maybe spider bit cause it form during my sleep. Any suggestions.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it looks like a Hematoma formed due to tongue bite leading to formation of a blood filled blister.. Due to inflammation and filling up of blood there has been pressure and pain.. Nothing to worry as it will get resolved soon and does not look like anything serious.. If there is pain you can apply a numbing gel containing Lignocaine over it to relieve pain.. You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen.. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp foods.. Do cool compresses over it as it will help in healing faster..
In case if it gets filled again consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..
Hope your query is resolved..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
