Grandma said that she wanted to eat meat when she bit her tongue, but the doctor said it was a disease.
eating when eating without mind, the tongue is bitten, and the old man often says "want to eat meat". It's normal to eat, distract and bite your tongue occasionally, but if you always bite your tongue, it may be a sign of certain diseases.
tongue movement is controlled by the nervous system. Any movement of the tongue will be affected. Xu Dongmei, deputy chief physician of Neurology Department of Beijing Ditan Hospital, said that it was normal to talk and eat, distract and bite the tongue occasionally. But if you always bite, there are two possible situations. One is the dyskinesia of the tongue when chewing; the second is the perception of the tongue and the mouth, which may be due to excessive pressure or fatigue, and the nervous system can not control the muscles to chew.
tooth occlusal relationship is not good also have an impact, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University vice director of Department of Stomatology doctor Chen Yaozhong said, if the teeth bite, the teeth are wrapped in the upper teeth outside the lower teeth, so the tongue is safer. But some people have a small upper tooth arch, which is more likely to bite the root of the tongue. This is usually a good time to wear a braces. In addition, some people have large tongues or uneven tooth wear, so that their tongue is more likely to be bitten.
if older people bite their tongue frequently, they must be very careful. In medicine, there is a disease called lacunar infarction. Its early symptoms are the symptoms of biting the tongue. Biting the tongue is caused by local cerebral infarction, constriction of the cranial nerves, so that the tongue can not move flexibly, and is often bitten by the teeth during chewing. Lacunar cerebral infarction mostly occurs in the elderly with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. If the old man finds himself biting his tongue often, or with dizziness, headache, unstable walking, and speech, we should go to the doctor quickly.
Chen Yaozhong reminded that if the tongue is not bitten, it usually does not need to be processed, and it will heal automatically. If the trauma is serious, pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection, can apply some glycerin in the wound, or spray watermelon spray, do not speak after spray, let watermelon frost in the wound for a moment, a few times, which can promote the healing of the wound. The diet is light during the wound healing. Because irritating food can cause two injuries to the wound, avoid eating hot food and rinse your mouth in time.
