I bit my tongue in my sleep. in the last few days, i developed canker sores across the bottom and it has swelled affecting my speech. what can i do?

Tongue Bite: Hello, this should be evaluated by your physician not only for the tongue sores and pain but also to look into the sleep history. Do you have a history of seizures? any sleep problems? This could be more than just a sore tongue. Motrin, ice and saline irrigations too. Good luck.
