My mother is 86 and is currently on warfarin among a few other medications. Her tongue is bleeding right down the mid line. It does not appear like a "bite" and runs up and down. I had her use tea bags to stop it last night and it has started up a little today off and on. The tea bags stop it each time. Is this a heart doctor issue or a general doctor? What kinds of questions should I ask.History: stroke, heart attack, age, some hypertension and beginning of congestive heart failure.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, There could be a chance of accidental trauma to the tongue. Apply Colonel oral ointment topically over the affected area. At home take multivitamin supplements. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. If the symptoms persists or worsen, visit to the Dentist and get checkup done. Take care!
