What Causes Bleeding While Cleaning The Tongue?
When cleaning my Tongue after Brushing with a Plastic Tongue Cleaner that you bend and has small teeth to scrape the tongue, I have been seeing Blood on the Plastic Cleaner. I do not see any Blood when Blowing my Nose or Spitting up only when I Clean my Tongue. I also wake up each day with a very Dry Mouth and was wondering if the Blood could be a result of my Sinuses being clogged during the night or something like that. Please let me know if this is something I should be very concerned about and what I should do.Thank You,
