Question

A 24-month-old girl has developed bumps on the back of her tongue. What could this be and how should it be handled?

Answer

Your child may be experiencing thickened tongue coating or an oral infection. It’s recommended to ensure your child stays well-hydrated and takes vitamins to aid in recovery. Avoid spicy foods. You can use a juicer to make some fruit and vegetable juices for your child, which can be beneficial. Also, maintain a humid indoor environment using a humidifier for relief. Are there any other aspects to be aware of? Thank you! If your child must consume spicy foods, encourage them to drink more water and juice.
