Neither here nor there.
Have a lesion on the right side of my tongue, it's from a really bad bite, that's not healing. It was sorta healed, and then I accidentally bit my tongue again. I also realized that I'm grinding my teeth when I sleep, working on getting a dental dam for that issue, and I sometimes catch the side of my tongue. The cpap mask doesn't help any either.
Well anyway, doc wants to biopsy and we're talking a huge hole here... so I'm wondering what I can try, over the counter/herbal wise to get it healed up. I have oil of oregano, but am not sure how to use it... it was one of the suggestion in my google search but didn't see how to use the stuff, apply it directly, dilute and then apply? I'm going to order some l-lysine and some colloidal silver to see if that will help. I know there's some honey from down under that's also supposed to work but I don't remember the name.
Suggestions would be helpful because that prescription oral mouthwash the doc ordered is one not only nasty but also contains saccharine which gives me horrible migraines.
I have been doing salt water rinses and have tried peroxide, the peroxide had no affect on the area at all.
