Question

A two-year-old child recently developed a blue tongue and frequently sticks out their tongue. Is this a sign of some kind of illness?

Answer

Hello, regarding the issue of your child’s blue tongue, this may be due to insufficient blood supply or poor blood circulation. It is recommended that you continue to observe for any other abnormal symptoms in your child. If the child only has a blue tongue without other discomforts, the problem may not be serious. However, if this condition persists, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for an electrocardiogram to rule out heart problems. At the same time, ensure that your child gets enough rest and hydration.
