irritant on my tongue


i have a huge ass ulcer on my tongue and it hurts like crazy. i've been talking funny (it's so painful i can't really move my tongue) and even my students are making fun of the way i talk. also, because of that, i've been restricting myself to soupy stuff and i'm starting to show withdrawal symptoms from the lack of fried chicken wings and bubble tea. my sis has been after me to put bonjela on it but i'm too scared of pain to do anything about it. now it's humongous and it's turning a scary shade of yellow.


i'm not sure if i should take it as a sign from god that it's healing and to leave it alone so that my tongue will be all nice and pink tomorrow... OR it can be that my ulcer has taken a turn for the worse and that i have take more drastic measures like putting salt on my ulcer (which my sister describes as a searing pain, even more than bonjela but gets the job done quickly).

also according to some article, these are the few things i should do until my ulcer heals:

1) do not eat very hot food stuffs
2) avoid hot tea or coffee (which means no bubble tea :()
3) eat rice in sufficient quantity
4) eat fruits like papaya, apple, and green banana
5) curd is very useful as it provides vitamin strength
6) avoid alcoholic drinks and smoking which reduces the process of healing of ulcers (no problem here)
7) avoid spicy and salty food. also avoid food that contains acid like lemon and tomatoes

i'm now going to suck it up and indulge in some sadistic pleasure of rubbing salt on my wound (literally). i told lil if she can hear me from her house, it probably means it really hurts a lot!
