I've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?

I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.

I'm using Quadrajel gel for a mouth ulcer and I'm curious if it's okay to swallow a little bit of it. Is there anything I should be worried about if some of it goes down my throat?

I quit pan masala about 10 days ago, and after three days, all the issues I was havinglike feeling spicy while eating and having a white patchdisappeared. But now I'm noticing some pain on the right side of my cheek, particularly in the upper corner. It feels like my corner tooth is touching my cheek, and it's causing some pain. Could this possibly be cancer?
