Patient's question:
My little girl just turned two years old. Recently, she has been vomiting frequently for about a week. Only on the first day of vomiting did she have diarrhea. She often says her stomach hurts and refuses to eat. Sometimes when she does eat, she vomits it back up shortly after. Today, I also noticed many sores on her tongue. I am very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition of the child does not rule out the possibility of geographic tongue. Geographic tongue is a chronic marginal desquamative lingitis that occurs on the superficial layer of the tongue mucosa and may be related to factors such as indigestion, nutritional deficiencies, and poor constitution.Recommendations:
- Seek a definitive diagnosis at a regular hospital's dental department.
- Consume nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods.
- Maintain good oral hygiene.
- Pay attention to eating more foods rich in vitamins.
