Question
A 6-year-old child has developed many small red bumps on their tongue without any pain or itching. They’ve been feeling like there’s phlegm in their throat and have been coughing for a few days, but now it’s better, yet they’ve noticed red spots on their tongue. The child has no history of allergies and no hereditary conditions. What could be the cause of this, and what medication should I give them?
Answer
This condition of small red dots on the tongue could be due to the child still having stomach troubles, which is a relatively common disease during childhood. It is recommended that you try using Shuangliao Huofeng San (a throat spray) for treatment, as it has shown good effects. During the treatment period, pay attention to giving your child plenty of water to drink, so that their illness will improve. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
