Will resolve: Will rapidly resolve on it's own. No sunflower seeds until healed. Saline rinses may help. Also suck ice cube. Application of OTC baking soda paste or milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) (full strength). Avoid eating anything aggravates the tongue til it heals.

See DDS or MD: Most minor tongue injuries or irritation will quickly heal, but it has been for 3 days. You might have a lodged sliver of those seeds lodged in your tongue or surrounding tissue. See a dentist or doctor to examine the area.
