Bit my tongue hard, slight cut, should i use peroxide?

Half-strength OK: The main goal is to keep the wound clean. Tongue wounds generally heal very rapidly. Half-strength peroxide (mixed 1:1 with water) is a good agent to swish around and then spit out to cleanse the oral cavity.

No: Just rinse with water. Take b2 - riboflavin will heal quicker.
