I have a boil on my tongue, what medication should I take to treat it?

Asked by Female, 35 · 33 minutes ago

A 'boil' on the tongue is usually a harmless canker sore, swollen taste bud, or minor irritation that typically heals on its own within one to two weeks. To manage pain, you can apply an over-the-counter topical generic benzocaine or lidocaine gel directly to the sore. Rinsing your mouth with generic chlorhexidine mouthwash or warm salt water three to four times a day will keep the area clean. Please avoid spicy, acidic, or very hot foods to prevent further irritation. If the bump is extremely painful, grows, or does not heal after two weeks, please consult a healthcare professional or dentist for an evaluation.
