What Causes Sleeplessness With The Tongue Sticking Out And Problems Sucking?
Hi, I haave a friend in CA with a 1 year old. The child has problems sleeping, wakes up about 30 times per night. Had Sleep tests done which all came out negative. Also, childs tongue is alwas sticking out. Has problems sucking and is a cranky baby. Test for Downs was negative as well. Any ideas??
We have an entity called relative macroglossia where the oral cavity is small and tongue is normal and associated with some syndromes. Next possibility is local problems like hemangioma or lingular thyroid. Get his TFT done. The child may be more comfortable sleeping in Prone position.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
