What should I do if my child has a tongue tie?

Patient's question:

What should I do if there is white stuff on a newborn baby's tongue, and it has been like this for a long time without getting better?

Doctor's answer:

According to the relevant situation you described, your child's symptoms are very common and may be due to developmental abnormalities.
Recommendation: It is recommended to visit the hospital's dental department promptly. Generally, surgical correction can be performed, which will have no impact on your child.
For chronic, persistent conditions in children, it is important to monitor any damage to the mucosa. Oral vitamin B or zinc sulfate preparations can be given to the child. Children with iron deficiency anemia should receive iron supplements to correct the anemia.
