Woke up this morning feeling a lot better. Sore is still there, but the pain from it and the pain radiating to my ear or back of my tongue is all but minimized. Seems I have developed a secondary infection in my gums on the same side as the sore around my teeth. Pretty sure this is because I kept prodding around the sore with my fingers and likely caused this myself. Serves me right.

So, I guess I will just watch for the sore to heal. Even if there is no pain, I'll still visit the ENT if the sore is still around. Better to be safe than sorry.

It's good to be able to drink soda without having the back of my tongue hurt so much.
