I got a root canal done 3 days back. My temporary filling was very sharp and it cut my tongue from underneath. I visited the dentist and got it smoothened. However, there are still two big reddish blisters on the side of the tongue where the root canal was done. They burn when I am eaing/drinking biting etc. Any remedies?

You might want to use an over the counter ointment , "Orabase with Benzocaine". It is a topical anesthetic that will give you some relief during healing. Is it possible you may have bit your tongue while anesthetized for the root canal treatment? If the sores are not gone in 10 days, have your dentist check them.

If the blisters were caused by the sharp tooth/ filling they will heal usually in 7 to 10 days.
Over the counter medication like ORAJEL- mouth sore gel will give you pain relief.
If after 2 weeks there is no improvement you should see the dentist again.

Several things could have caused your tongue blisters / ulcers. in almost all cases they will resolve in 7-10 days if the 'cause' part of the equation has been addressed by your dentist. During this time the ulcerated area will be sore and that soreness can be relieved with any number of over the counter remedies such as orabase. Another easy to find remedy are "SUCRETS" cough drops. They contain a strong anesthetic called "diclonine" that can make your whole mouth feel nearly numb... and I bet that big sandwich that you're craving will go down a lot easier... it will just taste like ... um .... cough drops. :)
They are many medications used during a "root canal Treatment that may have burned you inadvertently or you may be allergic two. Return to your dentist and document the reaction at least.
Warm salt water rinse, and Ibuprofen will do the job just fine.
