My 5 Year old daughter has two red markon her tounge one at the front which is almost the size of the tip of a finger and the other is in the middle and smaller, im sure i saw them there before a few months ago, any ideas what these could be? also the tounge seems to be a v pale pink colour
Hello, I can understand your concern. Are the marks causing your daughter any pain or discomfort? If they are painful, then it could be a bacterial infection or from trauma from some food item. If the marks are painless, then they suggest either allergic reaction or viral infection. It is very difficult to pinpoint a diagnosis or suggest medicine based on the description of the mark and symptoms. I would advise you to visit a dentist for clinical examination of the tongue and investigations if required. If the marks are painful, you can apply local Endocrine gel (McCoppin) over the rashes for relief. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,
