Can you use Yunnan Baiyao for tongue bite?

You can usually use Yunnan Baiyao after tongue bite, but you need to choose according to the specific situation.
1. In the case of a tongue bite, the bleeding needs to be stopped according to the amount of bleeding. If the amount of bleeding is small, you can choose local pressure to stop bleeding or use hemostatic drugs; if the amount of bleeding is large, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
2. If the amount of bleeding from the bite is small and the wound is not big, you can use cold water or saline to rinse the mouth, and then use clean gauze or sterile cotton swabs to stop the bleeding by compression. If the effect of hemostasis is not good, you can also use external hemostatic drugs under the guidance of the doctor, such as Yunnan Baiyao.
3. Due to the rich blood supply of the tongue, if the bite site has obvious cracks, or even only part of the flesh attached to the tongue, the bleeding is relatively large. It is recommended to timely hospital consultation, under the guidance of the doctor with sterile gauze compression wound, as soon as possible for suture bleeding treatment.
During the suturing process, attention should be paid to preventing accidental aspiration, so that the blood will not accidentally enter the trachea. Especially for children who bleed a lot and do not cooperate with the treatment, it may be necessary to operate under anesthesia.
