Tongue Bitting
Fri, 10/06/2006 - 18:31During 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?

I do the salt-water thing too, I bite my tongue just about every seizure I have, sometimes worse than others. This past time was really bad, and I've had to be careful with everything I eat.

I've found that the most awesome thing for a bitten tounge is a cough drop!
Also Chloraseptic spray works.

The times that I bite my tongue or anything in my mouth I rinse with warm salt water a couple times a day. The salt does something to help the heeling...It works for me. Give it a try.
