Bleeding from tongue
My mom is 49 years old. Healthy and fit. From last few months she has problem of bleeding from mouth. We thought it may be because of throat infection as she had cold. She took the medications for that and got cured. And till the time her medication were on there was no bleeding. She was on multivitamin also. Now from last few days as her medication is complete, today she got blood from mouth again. She thought it might be from gums as she has gum problems. But upon checking we found that her tongue was bleeding. She didn't bite herself while chewing or got hurt. What is the reason of this bleeding from tongue? Is it serious? She also has a sensation of dry tongue and mouth whenever this happens to her.
Plz guide us and suggest possible treatment.
Thank you.

You should consult a dentist or an oral surgeon to diagnose the exact cause of bleeding. Most likely cause is from the gums , however it needs to be examined
