• Bruised Tongue?
    7 replies, posted
It's a long story, but I fell down two sets of concrete stairs, I was mostly fine, except my head hit the ground really hard, and I bit down on both sides of my tongue, I ignored it for the rest of tonight, but I woke up this morning and it wont stop hurting. I literally can't eat anything, i've tried, drinking is possible but it hurts, and I can't swallow, spit etc. I washed it out with hot salt water, and taken some arnica, but it just hurts really badly, and I don't know what else I can do to help. I can't really see the cut, but it's very red, and they're sort of speckles, like a blood blister or something, and it's gone very dark around the bitten area, so the most logical answer is a bruise? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers. [editline]11th April 2012[/editline] Oh yeah kinda urgent because I need to go somewhere in an hour and I don't want to leave the house in this state.
Go to the doctor, only advice I can give you. At least you washed it out with salt water. But go to the doctor to get checked out.
It will regrow. Don't worry.

God I cringed as I read the first line. Only suggestion I would give is to go to the doctor, man. I'm real sorry D:
Don't worry guys, it's been two days and it's already feeling much better, the cuts are very swollen but healing up. Unfortunately it's still very painful to eat, but i've been living of tinned soups which are surprisingly nice. Frankly, i'm surprised i'm not more hurt, but at least I have learnt a good lesson, don't drink near concrete stairs!! [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] On a side note, I was in one of these when I fell, and it landed on my chest, which is continuing to hurt.
