Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain red spot at the side tip of tongue can be due to causes like inflamed tongue papillae, arterio-venous malformation like hemangioma, broken blood vessel, hematoma etc..

I would suggest you to consult a Pedodontist and get him evaluated and he can do a clinical evaluation and treat accordingly..

As of now feed him with soft foods, do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump and also maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
