About three or four days ago, I don't know what happened, but my tongue started to hurt really badly. I checked it in the mirror, and I see a formation on the bottom of my tongue that looks something like...

the darker area represents the approximate area where it hurts a ton if I scratch it with my teeth, move around my tongue, eat, etc. My tongue was also a little swollen at first, but it's gone now. The pain is also going down a little, but it's going down a little too slow and is really bothering me. Is this anything I should be worried about?



By the way, if it helps, around the time this first occurred I changed the toothpaste I used into some aquafresh toothpaste and I accidentally poked myself on the bottom of my mouth with one of my toothbrush bristles. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, if I have some weird allergic reaction to aquafresh or something.

Edit: nevermind, I think I solved my problem. They're just canker sores... Crap, crap, crap. There's no way I can give a speech with canker sores constantly grinding against my teeth.
