An ent surgeon did my oral endoscopy, while doing it, he held my tongue out with cotton dipped in savlon liquid, which chemically burned and injured my tongue from lower side, by the evening white scar was formed at that place, which hardly made me eat, within how many days will my injured tongue be healed? And is it safe to use savlon liquid in the mouth by ent surgeons?

Rinse the area well with cool water for a few minutes. Remove any dirt or particles that may be on the tongue. Wet a clean cloth with cool water and hold it on top of the tongue. Suck on ice chips or a popsicle to soothe the pain. Gargle with cool water or salt water. Avoid warm or hot liquids, which could irritate the burn. Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Sprinkle a few grains of sugar on the tongue to relieve pain.
