this is a picture of the inside of my mouth.See that little red spot? well that whole area of my mouth, most notably the area where the tong meets the cheek (there are more lesions there, can't see without tong depressor) hurts like fucking hell.It has hurt for like 10 days now... more so when I drink fluids. I get some relief when I gargle Listerine (which i have been doing for days now,) and when i spray that painkiller stuff for mouthpains, but the label of those products indicate that if pain is serious or persists for more than a few days see a doctor.Oh, i should add, that my lymph node on that side is swollen like huge, while on the other side its not so swollen.Does /fit/ think it is viral? should i go to a doctor or tough it out till it heals?I has no insurance.
Cut then off with a laser.Be careful.
Definitely go to the doctor. Swollen lymph nodes = infection. Infections range from mildly annoying to fatal.
op here:I am fucking broke though, is this kind of thing a clinic can helpout with?
>>235922Understandable. However, if you start getting a high fever (over 102 F) or vomiting, it's hospital time.
Why don't you have insurance??(I live in a european welfare state)
