I am a 25 year old female and 2 days ago my tongue started to hurt on the side of my tongue and it has wiggly lines on the side and want to know what can I take to cure this.

Question

Hello dear Lybrate user. Sometimes we get injury during talking or eating. This sometimes happen due to sharp cusps present over the teeth. This causes ulcer formation and irritation in toungue. The lines you are talking about are mostly natural. If you still have any doubt about it, just kindly send me a picture. If you have a burning sensation or ulcer please kindly use ointment kenacort 2-3 times daily over the area. Do let me know if you have any further problem.
