Question hi..i bit my tongue over an hour ago...it's still bleeding? what do i do
Answer Dear Linda: Sorry my answer is probably a bit late. By now you probably know that the best thing is to suck on ice cubes, holding the cube near the cut to stop the bleeding. Other than that, just keeping food away from the area is best. Tongues heal very well on their own. dd
