Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bleeding sore on the tongue can be due to injury on the tongue. It can also be due to Hematoma formation. Other causes can be ulcer formation over the tongue.
So first of all, consult an oral physician or an oral surgeon and get evaluated. A clinical examination and if needed a Biopsy can be done for confirmation.
For now, apply ice packs over the tongue. Take soft meals and avoid hard and irritant foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
