Noticed Sudden Bleeding At The Mid Line Of The Tongue
My mother is 86 and is currently on warfarin among a few other medications. Her tongue is bleeding right down the mid line. It does not appear like a "bite" and runs up and down. I had her use tea bags to stop it last night and it has started up a little today off and on. The tea bags stop it each time. Is this a heart doctor issue or a general doctor? What kinds of questions should I ask. History: stroke, heart attack, age, some hypertension and beginning of congestive heart failure.
There could be a chance of accidental trauma to the tongue. Apply Dologel oral ointment topically over the affected area. At home take multivitamin suplements. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. If the symptoms persisits or worsen, visit to the Dentist and get checkup done.
Take care!
