i have no way of determining the severity of your son's tongue injury based solely on your posting but i can tell you that tongues have a remarkable ability to heal. fast. with little or no medical intervention. in other words the tongue does not usually need to be sutured. ice cold drinks ice etc. as well has a wet firm compress will stop the bleeding but if you are concerned you would need to see a medical provider for a hands-on assessment.
my son is 18 yrs old and he bit the tip of his tongue and there is a slight deep cut and skin is still intacted. what should i do about it? thank you
