Patient's question:
The child's throat is hoarse, and there are red spots on the tip of the tongue. Is it due to internal heat? Or is it because the indoor temperature is too high, causing heat damage? He always sticks out his tongue, and it seems like he's uncomfortable. What should I do?First follow-up question: I want him to get better quickly. What can he eat? For example, things that clear heat, like that. The child is six months old.
Doctor's answer:
Numbness on the tip of the tongue is often related to slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, changes in microcirculation, insufficient local blood supply, or insufficient blood supply to the brain. It can be checked whether blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure are elevated, and whether blood viscosity is increased.Numbness on the tip of the tongue may also be a symptom of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. If ischemic cerebrovascular disease occurs, in addition to numbness on the tip of the tongue, there may also be symptoms such as tongue pain, local swelling of the tongue, difficulty moving, accompanied by systemic symptoms and numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, weakness in the limbs, elevated blood pressure, dizziness, and headaches.
Advice: Your condition may be caused by internal heat, but based on your description alone, it cannot be determined what the condition is. It is recommended that you go to a local hospital for examination and treatment. Wishing you good health.
