How To Stop Bleeding From Tongue?

Hello, I had a blister like pimple on my tongue for about two weeks. I broke it tonight, because it was driving me crazy. Now I can't stop the bleeding. I have been sucking on ice cubes. I'm on my fifth cube. Do I need to go to the emergency room.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your explanation it seems that you have ruptured an inflamed Apthous ulcers or CANKER sore and trauma to it is causing bleeding..

Nothing to worry, first of all take a sterile piece of cotton or gauze piece and compress the bleeding area and hold for a minute..
Gradually bleeding will stop..
Suck on ice pops and gargle with cold water, it will also control bleeding..

Take a soft diet and prevent any food that will cause injury again..

In case if bleeding still does not stop consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
