Patient's question:
At five months, the baby's tongue has developed two areas without skin again, and the area is gradually expanding. The hospital says it's a snake tongue. What could be the cause? When will it heal? Not eating.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is likely to be geographic tongue. Geographic tongue generally causes no significant pain but is often accompanied by symptoms such as poor bowel movements, sallow complexion and thin body, restlessness at night, constipation, and frequent colds. The causes of geographic tongue are mostly due to vitamin deficiencies or tongue inflammation. It is recommended that you have your child tested for trace elements. If there is a deficiency in trace elements, it is important to identify the cause and address it promptly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
