Accepted Answer

Get checked soon: You should not have a bleeding sore on your tongue.  While it could be as simple as you having bit the tongue or a canker sore, there are some more serious conditions that would be better treated sooner than later.  In the past we used to worry about tongue cancer in older male drinkers/smokers, there is a hpv-related type that also affects otherwise young healthy people.  Good luck.

Question 2

tongue bleeding for no reason, non smoker, no sores bleeding over 1/2 hr?

Accepted Answer

Tongue bleeding: Apply cold applications or cold water to your tongue and if bleeding doesn't subside head to the hospital emergency room for prompt evaluation and treatment. Spontaneous bleeding of the gums, nose, other mouth structures calls for blood tests to check for platelet deficiency or dysfunction, coagulation disorders, blood dyscrasias,etc. Medications like aspirin,Aleve can cause abnormal bleeding.
