A member asked:
I accidentally bit my tongue. the wound is small and it bleed for a few seconds only. but it is painful when touched. how can i treat it?

You let it self heal. The saliva has some antibacterial qualities and these heal over time. It would be prudent to avoid food or drink which you know would be painful while it heals.

It will heal on its own in a few days. To help promote healing, abstain from spicy, hot, salty, and acidic foods until it feels better.
