Suggest Remedy For Injury On Tongue
My 5 year old stuck her tongue to a Frozen pole and pulled it off, tearing the skin off the tip yesterday am. We used a washcloth to stop the bleeding and it is feeling better today however, when I picked her up from school today, it was patchy-white. The white went away when she ate a snack. Should I be concerned with infection and see a doctor?
