how long does a bit tongue bleed for?

[mousymouse]

dd (1.5) fell on the playground, scraped her kin and bit her lip. now 2 hours ago and it still bleeds a little.
doesnt look dramatic, just a bite to the tip of her tongue.
the scrape on the kin has already got a nice crust.
doesnt seem to affect her at all (apart from a little crying just after she fell).

chin not kin

An oral injury can bleed for ages, because its a permanently moist environment, it doesn't get to scab over like other cuts. Get her to suck on an ice lolly or ice cube and it should stop

thanks, she is now driving a car through the living room going brrrrrrr and spraying blood everywhere.... but it is getting less.
