Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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
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 Benzocaine gel (Mucopain) over the rashes for relief.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
