Question

What are the reasons for small black dots appearing on a child’s tongue? Are they related to the intake of trace elements?

Answer

Based on the description, small black dots may appear on the tongue’s surface or on the tongue coating. If they are on the tongue’s surface, they may be related to inflammation caused by blood stasis, and it is recommended to undergo a full-body examination. If they are on the tongue coating, they may be related to the child’s constitution and daily diet. Additionally, depending on the child’s age, this could be a problem with the liver, stomach, or spleen. The tongue can reflect a person’s health status, so it is advisable to go to the hospital for further examination. The specific diagnosis needs to be determined based on the child’s specific situation. Wishing your child good health!
