I bit my tongue a few days ago and now i have a white little tag and it won't heal and flaps. what should i do?

What to do: These types of injuries require more than just a few days to heal. Wait 7-10 days and if there is no improvement, see a dentist. Unless of course things get worse before then or you need professional reassurance.
