Suggest Treatment For Injury To Tongue After Vomiting
I have been coughing a lot and I sometimes throw up because of it. Yesterday when I threw up it hurt my tongue. I noticed a little while later that the sides of my tongue are bruised. I have interstitial lung disease and cough all the time. I have never bruised my tongue before. Why would this happen?

In short: It is unlikely to injure tongue after vomiting
Explanation: Oral ulcers can occur along the side of tongue. These may occur normally also and may also be connected to your disease. So, consult your doctor who is treating you for interstitial lung disease.
Hope this may help you. You can apply mucaine gel if you have pain over there.
