the tongue will most likely completely heal over time. perhaps in a few more days or a week. let his discomfort be a good lesson not to do such stupid things in the future. i suspect he was mimicking slick. the kid who did the same thing on the classic movie christmas story. you can treat the pain with ibuprofen but there is little more that can be done during this healing process.
my grandson is suffering with his tongue which was stuck to a metal pole when the temperature was -30. help. my grandson licked a metal pole last week in well below zero weather. it was better after the first day but now 4 days later it is very painful. can anyone help with tips on relief for him?
