Hi everyone,
10 days ago, I noticed a big ulcer with lots of swelling on the back side of my mother's tongue. We applied some glycerine and the ulcer subsidied. Yesterday, I took a look at her tongue again and noticed that her foliate pappilae have swollen a lot and she had a broken tooth there. She was biting a lot with that sharp broken tooth onto that area. We saw the dentist and he gave a steriod gel and also requested a biopsy. We went to see an ENT, who said it was just chronic irritation and she does not even have precancerous symptoms. I am really scared and not sure what needs to be done. With the steroid gel, her swelling has reduced. The papillae still looks inflammed. its been two days. What do you guys suggest. A picture of the irritation is close to what I found here on the net:
