H was getting out of our tent while camping and Logan leaned over just as H was lifting his foot to crawl out. Logan got hit in the mouth with H's heel. He is fine, but bit the tip of his tongue. I noticed this morning it looks kind of like a canker sore. (It happened yesterday morning) What can I do about it besides brush his teeth really good twice a day? I think it's looking a little better. He wouldn't cooperate, of course.
Have never heard of tooth brushing or mouthwash as prevention for mouth sores. Good to know. I'd just give him cold stuff if he seems like he needs it, maybe Advil or Tylenol if he's in pain.
DD fell while crawling last month and bit her tongue really hard... there was blood everywhere. It was horrific and yet she was totally fine after it stopped bleeding. So, from my experience (and info given to me after calling the doctor in a panic):
-don't feed anything citrus-ey for a couple days
-cold stuff definitely helps
-tylenol etc is ok too if you want to ease the pain
Her tongue healed very quickly. It looked like a canker sore for 2 days and then by the third was almost healed. Hope he is ok!!
Re: Bit his tongue. What to do?
If I bite my tongue, I use mouthwash religiously so I don't get a painful sore.
