What Do Ulcers On Tongue Indicate?
I have a 1 year old that gets crater like ulcers on his tongue (lately it has been nearly every fortnight or so). Not sure if coincidence or not but it seems to be when he gets a cold (we have had a bad winter with getting sick or having something nearly every second week). The doctor said possibly glossitis. It keeps recurring. Would glossitis appear due to colds or flus? Could it be something else? Is there a cure? He is on multi vitamins in case it is vitamin deficiency but this doesn t seem to have changed anything

Hi,
From history it seems having oral thrush.
Due to not cleaning the tongue or buccal mucosa after feeding can give rise to this infection.
Apply gention violet locally.
Give him B.complex drops.
Make a habit of cleaning his tongue and inside mouth by keeping handkerchief wrapping index finger and clean it properly.
Ok and take care.
