A member asked:
My 1 year old fell and bit through his tongue 5 hours ago, he is unable to nurse or swallow anything?

Bite tongue : As long as it doesn't involve the margins and the bleeding has stopped, it doesn't require sutures. He may feel more comfortable after a dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Products that are cold and liquid may be tolerated better. This should heal quickly. All the best.
