How To Cure Cut In The Tongue?

Hello,.last.night I was eating an ice cream sandwich of all things and I bit into the back end of my right hand side.of.my tongue. I was surprised when i tasted blood.in my mouth, and ran to get paper towels. The bleeding didnt last longer than 5 minutes and i thought it was a simple bite of the tongue. Until I went to the mirror and looked....um, it seems bigger than cuts on my arm and foot that required stitches. So I then got out my tool box and measured it witdth, length, and depth. It's approximately 1/2 long,
1/4 inch wide, and perforated with a a little more than 1/4 " deep, with the sides sort of splayed outward. So, is it time for a doctor? The pain isn't too bad....Jennifer age 39, weight 123, height 5'6"..thank-you!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would like to say that if this is the lacerated wound then it needs suturing this would bring the healing of wound quickly, looking to the measurement of wound stiches is must, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
