The ulcer caused by biting the tongue is extremely painful. Rinsing the mouth with normal saline is recommended, along with topical application of Xigua Shuang spray and ulcer powder. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods; their diet should be light and bland. They may consume, in moderation, fruits rich in vitamin C.
