I have a huuuuge issue with my tongue. The bottom right side has swelled up and I can hardly talk. I ate almost nothing yesterday because it hurts so much. Even drinking water hurts because I have to move my tongue to swallow and it rubs against my teeth.

I did drink a ton of water yesterday, though, because I don’t know what else to do. I washed my mouth with hydrogen peroxide last night and this morning. It’s very dangerous, I know, but the swollen area bubbled so much and actually it decreased in size a lot. I won’t do it again because it’s so bad for the teeth.

I have no idea what caused this… stress from traveling? lack of sleep? change in diet in Korea? I hope it goes away soon ‘cause I’ll need to talk and be polite with the new teachers when they arrive.

Does anyone know if warm, salt-water rinses actually HELP canker sores (I assume that’s what this is) or if they are just soothing? Any other good medicine or advice?

Pleath help!
