It sounds like a bizarre problem but believe it or not it’s more common than you might think. A bleeding or sore tongue can range from an occasional irritant to a sign of a potentially serious problem. So first and foremost, if you find that this is becoming chronic, do not hesitate to consult your medical practitioner.

Some people have a tendency to bite their tongue while speaking or eating food, and find that the resulting blood flow, while not excessive, does not stop for quite some time. Of course problems with your teeth or dentures are a possible cause too,  particularly if it’s becoming a regular problem. So a list of bleeding tongue remedies would always begin with a dentil check up. Next on the list of remedies would be the simple exercise of sucking on an ice cube. Yes I know it sounds excruciating, but in fact it serves both purposes of stemming the bleeding and reducing any soreness or swelling. Chewing on some sugar free gum would also serve a similar purpose.

Then if you do end up biting your tongue while complimenting your mother in law on her latest favorite recipe, there is the simple expedient of holding some water in your mouth for a minute or two. and when you get an opportunity you could also gargle with some antiseptic mouthwash. Remember that the human mouth is a veritable warren for micro organisms.

 


Risking the danger of sounding like an old bore, I think it should be mentioned in any health article, and especially one dealing with the mouth, such as bleeding tongue remedies or matters pertaining to sores in the mouth or on the tongue.  If you are a smoker and find that you are having problems in this area then for goodness sake don’t hesitate to consult your doctor as soon as possible.

And lastly perhaps the most obvious cause of this problem must not be overlooked. Have you developed a bad habit of chewing on your food and talking at the same time? Concentrate on one thing at a time please. It really does work wonders!
