Patient's question:
The child has been saying their tongue itches for the past few days, and I didn't take it seriously because I've never encountered this situation before. I also thought it wasn't a serious illness. Until last night, the child woke up several times during the night. Every time they woke up, they cried loudly, saying their tongue hurts, and then said it itches again. What could be causing the tongue to feel both itchy and numb?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, there may be inflammation in the tongue. It is recommended to eat less spicy and irritating foods in the near future and consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain good oral hygiene. Also, consider whether the issue may be due to poor blood circulation. It is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to check if there are any other problems. Then, follow the doctor's advice.
