How to heal a bitten tongue
Wash your hands.
Before you touch the inside of your mouth, take a minute to wash your hands with warm water and soap. If this is not available, use hand sanitizer.

OPTIONS:
- Apply soap to both hands and lather your hands well for about 20 seconds. Rub the soap in your hands for additional warmth and lather your teeth between your fingers for easier removal.
- Apply petroleum jelly or clear hand sanitizer. After you have cleaned your mouth, rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly over your tongue.
- You will not be able to splint your tongue if you do not. You will need soap that is very mild and is free of fragrance or preservatives.
- The goal is to prevent the germs on your hands from transferring to the now open wound on your tongue, possibly causing infection. Resistant viruses can also cause an infection if they come into contact with a bleeding wound.

How to deal with hot flashes
Layer your clothing.
When a hot flash strikes, you don't want to be trapped in a heavy sweater with nothing underneath. Wear a light undershirt or camisole with a cardigan or pullover on top, then a coat over that in the winter.

OPTIONS:
- Be prepared for hot flashes by wearing layers you can shed easily and quickly when necessary. There is menopausal friendly clothing available for women to help regulate their core body temperature.
- You can keep a new top under your outfit for a day or two or even a whole day. In hot weather, it's good to skip the top layer entirely, since it will absorb heat too much.
- This works fine if you're wearing a large shift dress. You can wear the dress under your cardigan or shift top and take off the sweater.
- Don't layer your outfit except for tucked-in jeans, or a t-shirt. Wool or blazers are appropriate at this time, and are integral to keeping a hot flash at bay.
