What should I do if the baby's tongue is scalded and swollen?

Patient's question:

What should I do if a two-month-old baby has a small blister on their tongue? What if the child refuses to breastfeed? It's never happened before. How should it be treated? What if the child refuses to breastfeed?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, it's just a small blister, which doesn't necessarily affect the baby's ability to breastfeed right now. You can completely adjust your mindset and wait. Later, you can observe it carefully yourself. If it significantly affects eating, you can then revisit the doctor for medication to aid digestion.
For this kind of burn on the tongue, it will heal on its own by forming a scab. This may cause some temporary impact on the baby's breastfeeding, but if the baby is hungry, it will not affect normal breastfeeding.
