Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears. I was wondering what is good for a 19-month-old baby with a sore tongue.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the child's condition, it is highly possible that they are lacking in trace elements. The child has recurrent oral ulcers, which may indicate a zinc deficiency. It is recommended to conduct a trace element test to determine if zinc supplementation is needed. If so, consider supplementing with gluconate zinc or glycyrrhiza zinc. It may take 2-3 months for the effects to be noticeable, and in the meantime, local application of bingpeng powder or tin class powder can be used.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases have a significant impact on patients. It is advised that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialized medical professional and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing "internal heat" (excess heat in the body). We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
