What should I do if there is a small blister on my baby's tongue?

Patient's question:

What should I do if a two-month-old baby gets 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 nurse. You can completely adjust your mindset and wait. Later, you can carefully observe. 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 discomfort for the baby while nursing, but once the baby is hungry, it will not affect normal feeding.
