Tongue Biting Pain Relief
Sun, 06/11/2006 - 10:11Topic: Medication Issues
Just a quick line to share what I use for intense tongue-biting pain after a doozie of a seizure. It's an over-the-counter medication in a tube, called OralJel. It's for rubbing on sore teeth and gums, so it's safe for the inside of your mouth, and it numbs those little teethmarks beautifully. It was my husband's idea (as he has had extensive dental work, poor thing), and it was a lifesaver.
Tongue Bitting Releief

I just recently had a seizure this morning in my sleep and I never knew anything to use to stop the pain or the swelling in my tongue. I can barley talk right now but I’m glad I found this site and was able to join in with everyone, I’m thankful for seeing all the tips and advice. But as far as medication goes I’ve been on two different meds and neither one prevents me seizures. Anyone having that problem?? If not I need to know what medication to use.
