Mouth

Mouth Bleeds
These tend to look more serious than they really are, but should always be examined carefully. Here are some things one can expect from mouth bleeds of all types:
• Because the mouth is moist and very active, clots can't form easily and they are likely to fall out before the clot is healed.
• Because the blood is mixed with saliva, it often looks like there is more blood than there really is
• Swallowed blood can upset one's stomach and cause nausea and vomiting
• If the bleed persists for few hours, hemophilia treatment center should be consulted.
• Bleeding due to a cut on the tongue requires attention from a doctor or a member of the hemophilia treatment team
Suggestions for treating mouth bleeds:
• Eating a popsicle or ice-cube may help reduce pain
• Eating soft foods for a few days
