Tongue Bitting

During my last seizure I bite my tongue. It has been hurting now for a couple days now. Does anyone know a good treatment for a bitten tongue?

Hi, I seem to remember someone saying orajel works well. It will numb your tongue. I haven't tried it yet myself. Good luck!!!!

Thank you, I tried the Orajel it seems to work for a short period of time, but the numbness wears off quickly. It does give me enough time to atleast eat without any pain though. Thanks for the advice.
