Hello,

I can understand your concern. The dorsum aspect of the tongue has rough texture. This texture is due to the presence of different papillae on the surface that contain taste buds.

In case of your daughter, it is possible that some of the papillae are overgrown and giving projection like look.

I would advise you to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the clinical examination of the tongue and further investigations. Treatment may include excision of the projection with minor surgical procedure.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
