Some patch appearing and disappearing on the tongue

Date: 05 Aug 2009   Group: Doctors    Category: Pediatrics    Posted By: Kiran Paul Kanikaram    Points: 1    Member Level: Diamond   



Hi,

I have a daughter who is 3 years old and she has a habit of sucking her thumb before going to sleep and we tried to avoid it but was successful some times. but recently we noticed that at the front of the tongue she has some patch appearing for some time and disappearing after some days. here we approached some doctors and they said it is because of the sucking of the thumb. is that right or what is it? we are quite confused

It is not necessary to worry too much about thumb sucking. Instead of trying to prevent thumb sucking try to distract the child. If you focus too much on the problem it may become an attention seeking behavior.

Patch on the tongue may be due to difficulty in cleaning the tongue of small children. Sometimes fungal infection can also cause a patch.
