My son bit his tongue?

My son bit his tongue after a fall. He drools a lot and his tongue is swollen. What can I give him to help him? He doesn't bleed anymore.

Hello ma'am, sorry to read about your child's troubles :(
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen (Tylenol and Advil respectively) are effective in reducing pain or discomfort. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you the dose to give depending on your child's weight and the concentration of the product chosen
Also, cold foods can help, such as yogurt, Jell-O, ice cream or other. An ice cube can also be applied to the area for 10-15 minutes at a time, as often as needed
I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
