How to deal with a child's sore tongue

Patient's question:

What should I do if a child's tongue is sore and ulcers? Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? What medicine should I take or what food should I eat? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Since the oral mucosa of children is softer, especially for children under 3 months, the salivary glands have not yet developed well, and the amount of saliva is small, which can easily lead to the proliferation of oral bacteria. Due to various reasons, the mucosa near the oral angles is damaged and accompanied by infection, resulting in inflammation of the oral angles. In addition to foods rich in vitamin B2, such as vegetables, lean meat, liver, eggs, etc., vitamin B2 tablets can also be taken orally. Probiotics have been appropriately supplemented to enhance the ability of nutrient absorption. Do not feed the baby spicy, sour, or pungent foods. Eating more nutrient-rich liquid foods and juices helps to recover health. Liquid foods can be heated to body temperature.
