Mouth Bleeding
The bleeding from an injured tongue, even when it merely results from an accidental self-influence bite, is often prolonged and alarming. Usually though, such bleeding can quickly be brought under control, without stitches or help from a doctor, if the victim firmly holds something over the site of bleeding to compress it. A wet handkerchief or face towel is commonly used for this purpose at home, while sterile gauze tends to be used in hospitals. Either type of packing materials will be satisfactory if compression is sufficient and is kept up for a long enough time.
