Ankyloglossia: It will depend on the severity of the condition. It is uncertain as to who will develop speech problems and there is no way to predict at young age who will need treatment.

Question 7

toddler with tongue sores, swollen gums, stinky breath, and fever..what is it?

Sounds painful: As well.  Please take your child to his pediatrician or pediatric dentist to be diagnosed and appropriately treated.  On line consultation / recommendations would only be guesses at best.  Hope this helps.

Question 8

my toddler is having a whitish tongue and foul smelling breath. she also has an occasional runny nose and little bit of coughing. what's the reason?

Accepted Answer

Catarrh or thrush: Sounds like a bit of an upper respiratory infection, likely viral, could be oral thrush.  I think an examination by the pediatrician should be sufficient to solve the problem.  In the mean time make sure whatever goes in her mouth is CLEAN (including your nipples if you are breastfeeding) and be sure she stays WELL HYDRATED. Watch for any elevated temperature or fever and report right away.

Question 9

what can i use for sores in s toddler's mouth?

Accepted Answer

Orajel: Baby orajel. I would also consider seeing your doctor to make sure it is simply teething and not something more serious.

Question 10

how do i keep my toddler from putting things in his nose and mouth?

Accepted Answer

Keep out of reach: Toddlers instinctively put everything in their mouths because it might be food. Do a sweep of your house and get everything that isn't nailed down out of his reach. And brace yourself for the next stage, when he starts climbing to reach stuff he can't get to now. That's the reality of rearing children - it gets more and more aggravating 'til they graduate from college. But grandchildren are great!
