Are you in a country with good dental treatment?  ie not mexico.  You need to have this checked out.  Although it may not hurt it could be cancerous and the earlier you have this taken care of the better.  I wouldn't wait if I were you... You may need to have this biopsied and the lab work can take time...  Please see a Dr.  There are soo many different types of sores you can have in your mouth (not just erythoplakia) and some are very dangerous.  Good Luck

Rest it. Drink plenty of warm fluids---NO caffeine. Gargle w/ warm saltwater if it is sore.

It can take from 7 days to two weeks. Very few times, it can take longer. Go and check with your doctor if u have some kind of outbreak

Its probably a canker sore.  You pretty much just have to wait those things out.  Keep acidic foods away from it in the meantime.  I get one everytime I go to the dentist and the last time it took a week for it to go away.

Everyone who is bit will have a reaction in some way.  I had a mild bite but was still painful.  I did not have any skin deterioration to speak of but the pain was intense for a few days.  Antibiotics are recommended asap.  I waited a week and should have gone to the doctor sooner than that.

If the injury is along the bite line in your cheaks, sweetiepieblonde could be correct.\n\nMore likely the injury is getting infected.  In most cases, your body's imune system will catch up to it and resolve it.  If it worsens and does not improve within 10 days you should see a doctor.

Usually about 6 months from the time of diagnosis, but it can vary anywhere from a few days to 12 months.  It depends on the person, how long they have had it, where it has spread from, where it might have originated, etc.

That sounds like it could be it.  You must go to the doctor so they can do the test.  The quicker you go, the easier it will be on you.  In more advanced stages, the sores on the throat become so painful it is extremely difficult to swallow.  I also recommend asking for a penicillin injection if the test comes back positive.  It hurts, but it works very fast and you do not have to swallow pills that will hurt your throat.

If you've just been to ordinary doctors, maybe it's time to see an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist who should be an expert in mouth/tongue problems. It doesn't sound good, I would get another medical opinion for sure.

Depends on how long you have had it?  If you have had it for more then a couple of weeks then I would see your dentist.  Sounds like you hit the area when you were brushing your teeth.  I do this sometimes when I am not paying attention.  There is not much tissue back there but a lot of bone and if you hit it often with your tooth brush then it can become sore.  Swish with warm salt water, and take it easy when you are brushing.  Like I said if you have had it for awhile or it does not resolve in a week or so see your dentist.  Sores in the mouth are nothing to play with.

You cannot speed up the healing time without seeing you doctor. \nA small percentage of leukoplakic patches show early signs of cancer, and many cancers of the mouth (oral cancers) occur next to areas of leukoplakia. For that reason, it's best to see your dentist if you have unusual changes in your mouth lasting longer than a week.\n\nwell done for quiting smoking!

You could be biting your heek or tongue. Things in your mouth heal really fast.

There are anti viral medications that will help if you can get to a doctor during the first hours (12-24) of the onset of symptoms.

You need to get to doctor ASAP.

sounds like you have a fungal infection called thrush. you can use a product called gly-oxide. it's an anti-septic mouth rinse. it will sting, but you have to swish it around for at least 30-45 seconds. then you can spray chloraseptic in your mouth and swish that around...it will really help to numb the pain. you could possibly have a virus too...if that's the case, it just has to run it's course...usually 7-10 days for canker sores. if you're not getting any better after 5 days or so, or start to run a fever, go to the doctor...they might have to swab your mouth for a culture to find out what you have, and determine if you need antibiotics.

Wait another couple of weeks, and then consult a Dr.
