Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query bleeding from tongue could be due to eating or drinking hot, sharp or spicy food which causes irritation and swelling, any infection prevailing in the oral cavity which can cause infection of papillae of tongue which in turn can lead to bleeding. I would suggest you not to worry much. Do warm saline rinses. Suck on ice cubes.
Use of antimicrobial mouth wash can be helpful in reducing any microbial growth in mouth. Drink plenty of water to prevent from dehydration. Take Ibuprofen if inflammation is there. Visit general practitioner and oral physician once if symptoms keeps on reoccurring and get blood tests and swab test done to find out underlying systemic pathology.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
