Tongue issue
Hello! Frst off I'd like to apologize for not knowing which forum to choose from. bit a small portion of my tongue off a few days ago. It bled a decent amount at the time but stopped shortly after. Now, though it is healing there seems to be a vein that was close to being bit and is visible with only the tiniest bit of tongue covering it. Am I at risk for infection or a larger injury? What should I do? Home advice would be nice as I wouldn't like to go see a doctor I am very busy. Thank you.

Hmmmm, try putting some warm salt water in your mouth and soaking the tongue that way, salt can be a healer. It is one of the best remedies I know of for a lot of issues. Works great for helping sore throats as well.
