What to do if you accidentally bite your tongue

1. If there is food or dirt in the child's mouth, you can use cold boiled water to clean his tongue.

2. Press the injured part of the tongue with ice cubes or popsicles. If bleeding continues after 30 minutes, take the child to the hospital.

3. Within one or two days after the injury, try to feed your child softer food and avoid sour, spicy and other irritating foods.

4. Biting the tongue will not cause infection. The wound usually heals within 7 to 10 days.

5. The bites caused by the baby himself should not be very serious. They will usually heal on their own after a while, so mothers don’t need to worry too much.

6. Pay attention to the baby's diet which should be light. Try to eat food that is easy to digest and does not require much chewing. It is best to eat porridge. Do not eat strong-tasting or irritating food. You can give the baby some fruit juice and vitamin supplements. If the child is very fussy, you can try some children's spray prescribed by the doctor.

It may be a precursor to 7 diseases.

1. Excessive pressure and mental tension

It is easy to be distracted and lose focus at this time, which may lead to biting yourself.

Also, if you are eating while looking at your phone, you may bite yourself easily.

Method: Reduce stress and relax.

2. Lack of rest

It can cause nerve problems, which in turn can affect normal muscle control and make normal chewing activities impossible. You need to pay more attention to rest.

3. Getting angry

Getting a fever can cause "swelling" on both sides of the teeth, making it easy to bite yourself.

4. Poor Teeth

Some people's upper dental arch is relatively small, so when they bite down, it is too close to the tongue and is easy to be bitten.

Method: See a doctor and wear braces to adjust the "tooth bite".

5. Fat tongue

As the saying goes, "Fat people bite their tongues and thin people bite their cheeks" because the tongue is enlarged and easy to be bitten.

Method: You need to lose weight.

6. Missing Teeth

If there are many missing teeth, or if there are residual roots or crowns, they may bite yourself.

Method: filling or braces.

7. Cerebral infarction

If older people often bite themselves while eating or talking, they should pay attention to it as it may indicate cerebral infarction.

If you bite your tongue frequently, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
