I've noticed that right after I brush my teeth and clean my tongue, there are spots of blood on my tongue that disappear after I rinse my mouth. I've also experienced some slight swelling on the sides. There's no pain involved, but it's definitely concerning. What could be causing this? Could it be something I should worry about?

Could be due to minor trauma from brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush. The slight swelling on the sides could be due to irritation. To help with this issue, you can try using a softer toothbrush and being gentler while brushing your tongue. You can also use a mouthwash with an antibacterial agent to help reduce any inflammation. If the issue persists, you can try using an oral gel containing benzocaine to help with any discomfort.
