My mother was bitten by a monkey

[Basildonmike]

On a recent trip to the gambia my 86 year old mother was attacked and mauled by a small squirel typed monkey and was bitten on her ears and her tongue.
She was administered first aid and an ointment applied by our guides who assured us the monkey was not poisonous or didn't harbour any diseases, however 2 months on my mothers tongue has started to randomly swell up and deflate over a 24 hour period, this does not bring any pain but is a little unnerving as she's worried she may have caught something, does anyone have any clues at what's going on or what to do next?

Has she developed a fondness for bananas?

Ibuprofen should do the trick............

[ummmm]

How many? How often? Craft....

It's no big deal.....lol

[redcrx]

and what have they said at the GP when youve taken her?

[EvianBaby]

Er, what was your Mum doing for the monkey to be able to bite her tongue?

[jackthehat]

Nothing, red............he couldn't get her down from the pelmet.......:D

[craft1948]

1200mg of Ibuprofen 4 times a day..............I guarantee that'll stop the swelling.

Expect to see her walking around with her arse hanging out and picking fleas off the grandchildren any time soon...

[ummmm]

Lol :-)

I gather the guide's surname, who administered first aid, is Gibbon.

Makes you wonder why the OP was suspended... only one Q (this one) and no answers. probably an impostor.
