Patient's question:
The child is now two months old. At birth, it was discovered that the tongue protruded outside the mouth, and it appeared thick, with asymmetry on both sides. The face was also asymmetrical, with torticollis, high muscle tone, recurrent diarrhea, and abdominal distension.Doctor's answer:
First, what you need to pay attention to is that; if the tongue sticks out and cannot retract, it is called "tongue protrusion"; if the tongue extends and retracts immediately, moving like a snake's tongue, it is called "tongue flickering." You need to observe this carefully, such as whether the child is crying, whether the body temperature is normal, and whether there are other symptoms when the tongue is extended. In general, it appears under abnormal conditions, indicating that there is heat in the child's body, and the heat is severe.
