What Causes Tongue Bleeding?
My tongue keeps bleeding. It happened the day before Christmas Eve, feb 10th and today. I use compression on it. After holding gauze on it for 1/2 hr to an hour it stops. Sometimes it reoccurs during the same day, someone s not. It usually heals completely in a few days. It s always in the same spot. What s going on. What should I do?
