Question
What should I do if my newborn has white things on their tongue, which have been there for a long time and haven’t gone away?
Answer
Based on the situation you’ve described, your child’s symptoms are quite common and may be due to developmental abnormalities. It is recommended to see a pediatric dentist at the hospital as soon as possible, as surgery can usually correct the issue without affecting your child. For children with chronic persistent diseases, medication can be prescribed to observe the mucosal damage, and oral vitamins B or zinc sulfate preparations can be administered. Children with iron deficiency anemia should take iron supplements to correct the anemia.
