Two of my plica fimbriata (under the tongue) are swollen & red since the past 3 days, had dental cleaning last week so maybe that caused irritation. however, they hurt so much while eating. started salt rinses today. what else can i do?

You might try using some peroxide rinses. Cleaning might have caused some irritation. I would also avoid spicy foods, foods that are crunchy, and have a soft diet until area heals.
