Looking at the picture, it’s not very clear, but still, from what is visible, it seems that nothing very dangerous is there. And it should be taken care of—avoid eating very spicy food, avoid very hot things, and if there is more trouble
Next Steps
visit nearby dentist

Based on your history and the photographs, I do not notice any obvious suspicious lesion. The swelling appears consistent with a healing traumatic tongue bite. It is common for the pain to improve first, while the swelling may take 1–2 weeks to completely subside.
Next Steps
In the meantime:
* Rinse with warm salt water 3–4 times daily.
* Avoid spicy, hot, and sharp foods.
* Try not to bite the area again while chewing.
* Maintain good oral hygiene
Health Tips
If the swelling persists beyond 2 weeks, increases in size, becomes very painful, develops pus, or you notice difficulty swallowing or speaking, please visit an oral medicine specialist or dentist for a clinical examination.
At present, from the history and the photos provided, it does not appear suspicious, so there is no need to panic. Continue to observe it for a few more days, and it should gradually resolve.

Hello Sir. I understand your concern. You need not worry. It must be a traumatic swelling due to accidental biting. It will reduce automatically. Just give it some time to heal. If its painful you can apply Dentogel Ct or Mucopain ointment before food twice daily.
