For time being you can do following things-
Sucking on ice chips or holding an ice-wrapped cloth against your tongue
Gargling with warm salt water to reduce swelling and kill bacteria
Avoiding spicy, salty, acidic, hot, or alcoholic foods and drink
Next Steps
Visit your dentist for further investigation and proper treatment
