Hi,would appreciate a little reassurance if possible ....not for myself,for my dad. He had a biopsy taken today of his tongue,he's had a sore on his tongue for some time now,it wasn't healing,and so his GP wanted him to have further investigations which has resulted in the biopsy. To cut a long story short,he had the biopsy which didn't bother him at all,didn't feel a thing,and was quite happy about it when he got home. However,a couple hours later,his tongue began to swell quite badly,he returned to the oral dept at the hospital,and they've given him Piriton,a steroid,and Amoxil for it. Now my dad never reacts very well to these things anyway,but I just wondered if this is perfectly normal after a tongue biopsy or if I should be concerned??
Thankyou
