A member asked:

I have a tongue bite and it hasn't gone away in a bit over a month. it randomly starts getting painful usually mornings or night. how does it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May see: Your GP. One month is too long for a tongue bite wound to heal. Infections or other tongue lesions may need to be ruled out
