When a child falls and bites his tongue, the wound is deep enough to require surgical debridement and suturing.
When a child falls and bites his tongue (clinically known as tongue trauma), and the wound is deep, the wound will bleed profusely with severe pain, and it will also lead to the normal movement of the tongue, which will affect the function of articulation and chewing. Therefore, it is recommended that children with tongue trauma seek medical attention for surgical debridement and closure of the wound.
The wound is first cleaned and rinsed to remove foreign objects, and then closed tightly with sutures; the above treatment can effectively stop bleeding and promote rapid healing, which is one of the conventional treatments for tongue trauma. After the operation, we should pay attention to oral hygiene, and regularly disinfect and change the medicine.
If a child falls and bites his tongue, and the wound is deep, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid adverse consequences.
