Question 1

dr i have pimple like buble at left side edge of the tounge which not causing any pain and colour is as same as other area.. no pain?

Accepted Answer

Watch and wait: What you described does not seem to be a cause for concern. You may watch and wait. if the lesion more than doubles in size or ulcerates, see a doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

pain, little swelling and redness in both sides of my tongue along the whole edge.

Accepted Answer

Pain on tongue: You can try to gargle with salt water for swelling.  Drink plenty of fluids and rest.  Try to recall what happened to make your tongue sore and avoid that in the future.  If it persists more than a week pr if you have fevers, bleeding, difficulty breathing then see your doctor.

Question 3

i started invisalign 4 days ago and now have thick white edges on the sides of my tongue. i went back to the orthodontist (assistant) and they wouldn't file down my aligners since i wasn't having any pain. will this eventually go away?

Accepted Answer

: I would ask your orthodontist who actually knows what the problem or maybe even his assistant.

Question 4

have a chronic irritation on side of tongue from tooth digging in. had tooth file down, but did not help. i asked dentist to make it blunt and round as possible but he didnt. could putting some bonding temporarily to make tooth edge less sharp help?

Accepted Answer

: Bonding will not solve your issue. Have your dentist round off the offending cusp as you suggested.

Question 5

i bit side of my tongue two days ago, there is no unusual redness. as the edge of my teeth is sharp there, when swallowing it is so sore what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Tongue: Salt water gargles, bland diet and ibuprrofen help but if it persists see an ent. You should see the dentist to smooth over that sharp tooth

Question 6

left side of my face feels burning, eye, edge of lip, nostril, tongue, throat, it's all towards the left only. not stabbing pain, no rash, what is it?

Accepted Answer

See PCP: Could be early Herpes Zoster. See PCP. Some MDs treat before vesicles come out. Time will tell what it is. Burning eye is usually due to dryness but see eyeMD to be sure you do not have HZV in eye.

Question 7

i have white stuff on the sides of my tounge what is it?

Accepted Answer

Common issue: A lot of people have a white border to their tongue. It can be due to several different factors, and only rarely is it a cause for concern. You should have a dentist check it at your regular check-up appointment.

Question 8

my saliva feels bubbley and it looks whiteish what could it be? i'm well hydrated and i'm getting sorta a weird nasty taste in the sides of my tounge

Accepted Answer

Difficult to answer: The answer is difficult based on only your statement. Possibilities could be plaque or calculus on your teeth, vitamin deficiency. More details needed. See your dentist.

Question 9

i feel and see bumps on the back and sides of my tounge and they feel like hair. plus i keep choking and gagging. i feel it when i swallow too. help.

Accepted Answer

Go see dentist: You should really get to a dentist and get checked out, but could just be bumps on your tongue called papillae that have taste buds all over them. These are normal, but can get hairy projections if you don't keep your tongue clean.  Just brush your tongue and that should help get rid of it.  Still, since you are choking and gagging, you should get into dentist to be checked out.  Take care!

Question 10

can anyone of u do referrals !? or can u give me one to have a total spine and neck mri? last nite i had a seizure bit both sides of my tounge. wth ?!

Accepted Answer

What to do next:: We can make referrals sometimes.  You should

1) stop driving, to prevent accidents
2) get in touch with a neurologist in your state
3) they would order blood testing, an EEG, and an MRI

A HealthTap doctor in your state may be able to refer you to a local neurologist.

You may not need an MRI of the spine.
