What causes bleeding in the tongue?
Patient: Over the last week or so I noticed that around the tip of my tongue was hurting during and after brushing my teeth. It has now gotten to the point that it is bleeding while I m brushing even without brushing my tongue. I tried switching toothpaste after I noticed even though I had been using the same brand for months. Can you tell what may be a cause for this? It is affecting my eating and drinking. Doctor: HiYou are having an ulcer over your tongue tip. Small ulcers 2-8mm in diameter heal by them-self with in 7-10 days time. if there are multiple painful ulcers then it may be herpes. If the size is more or the ulcer is also not painful then kindly you must visit your doctor as there may be serious problem like malignancy. Other wise keep your oral hygiene good, take some multivitamins, avoid smoking, alcohol, irritant type of substances. You will recover soonTake Care
