It : It would be appropriate to have him medically evaluated. Please call your pediatrician and ask for an appointment. Sometimes children can bite their tongue, then it appears whitish/yellow. If he has tongue swelling, shortness of breath, fever, or rash, then he should be seen as an emergency.

Try a dentist: He may have bitten his tongue. Try your family dentist first.
