nyelvértéssel

Nyelvértéssel refers to the act of biting one's tongue. This can occur accidentally during eating, speaking, or as a result of an injury, such as during a fall or a sports accident. Involuntary tongue biting can also be associated with certain medical conditions like epilepsy, where it may occur during a seizure.

The tongue is a muscular organ that is highly sensitive. Biting it can result in pain, bleeding, and the formation of a wound or ulcer. Minor tongue bites typically heal on their own within a few days, but larger or more severe injuries may require medical attention to prevent infection or excessive bleeding.

Treatment for a tongue bite usually involves rinsing the mouth with salt water to keep the area clean and reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort. If the bleeding is severe or the wound appears infected, a healthcare professional may need to intervene. In rare cases, persistent or severe tongue biting could be a symptom of an underlying neurological or psychological condition, prompting further investigation.
