When I was asleep my toune got worse. I woke up and the stitches are gone I have a about an inch opening its about 1/2 inch deep. What can I  use to reduce swelling and help healing?  My DR is off today. I  need relief asap..
Hi, As per your complaint you have history of tongue surgery. Stitches over that area is lost so difficulty in healing. Whenever wound is too deep in this situation difficulty to heal naturally. So consult your oral surgeon again for stitches. Anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Consult an oral surgeon and take stitches again. Maintain oral hygiene and avoid food lodgment also. I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
