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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?

I got a tooth extracted yesterday, and then I fainted a few hours later. Should I be worried about that? Any idea why that might have happened?
The red skin, bump, and pus around your nose piercing are likely signs of an infection or irritation. Given your upcoming wedding, it's essential to address this issue promptly. Here's a step-by-step plan to help your piercing heal faster: *Immediate Actions* 1. *Stop using antibiotics*: Since you've already used antibiotics without seeing improvement, it's best to consult a doctor for further guidance. 2. *Clean the piercing*: Gently clean the piercing with saline solution (14 teaspoon of sea salt in 8 ounces of warm water) 2-3 times a day. 3. *Avoid tight clothing*: Keep the area around your nose piercing free from tight clothing, which can irritate the piercing. *Promote Healing* 1. *Tea tree oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area using a cotton swab. 2. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 3. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage a few drops of vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote collagen production and healing. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your doctor or a dermatologist to assess the piercing and provide personalized guidance. 2. *Get a piercing aftercare product*: Your doctor may recommend a specific aftercare product to help your piercing heal faster. *Wedding Day Preparations* 1. *Temporary removal*: If the piercing is still not healed by your wedding day, consider temporarily removing the jewelry to avoid further irritation. 2. *Makeup coverage*: If the piercing is still visible, consider using makeup to cover the area.

I've noticed a thin film of deposit building up near my gums, and my gums seem to be receding a lot compared to before. Even though I brush gently twice a day and use mouthwash, the deposits keep coming back, and now my gums are much lower than they used to be. I first saw this last year, but brushing used to help now it's not enough. I'm really worried I might lose my teeth. Is there anything I can do to stop this without needing surgery or procedures that could make my teeth more sensitive?
There are a number of factors that can cause your gums to recede, including: Periodontal diseases. These are bacterial gum infections that destroy gum tissue and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place. Gum disease is the main cause of gum recession
