my son has red spot under his tongue what is that?

Question

My son as red spots around his mouth and on he's bum and have had a fever the last few days?

Answer 1

Red Spot: Could be many things so please see your ENT or your dentist to have it diagnosed.

Answer 2

More description : Needed. Could be an aphthous ulcer or a traumatic ulcer (getting poked by a chip fragment for example). Very common. If it persists beyond a few days, get checked out by a dentist. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Need more info: What color is it, how big is it, does it hurt, how long has been there? Theses questions and others need to be addressed before we can give you a meaningful answer. Best to have his doc look at him. Usually these things are benign but definitely have it checked out.

Answer 4

Taste buds: Common to see inflammed taste buds, normally go away on their own within a week. If not, see your dentist!

Answer 5

Needs to be seen: Unfortunately, this types of situations actually have to be seen by a trained health care provider.

Answer 6

A lump.: Until it is examined, and possibly a sample looked at under a microscope, you really can't tell. If your son remembers biting that spot or injuring it in some other manner, it may just be a scar, but again, it's only a guess until looked at properly.

Answer 7

State a question: Please state a clear question, we would love to help! a cut tongue can be very bothersome but the good news is that the oral cavity heals fast! some over the counter pain medications may help to alleviate general pain if the cut is bad. For sharp pain or discomfort when eating/drinking, you can try purchasing some topical anesthetic, like orajel, which may help for a few minutes.

Answer 8

Biting tongue: It happens more often than you think, rapid healing due to rich blood supply, would recommend mouth rinses like chlorhixidine or warm salt water.

Answer 9

Depends : Whether or not your son's tongue laceration needs treatment may depend on the extent and depth of the defect. Many superficial lacerations will heal with no treatment. If the laceration is deeper into the muscle layers and likely bleeding profusely, your son should be seen to control te bleeding and to determine what treatment may be indicated.

Answer 10

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.

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

See dentist: To find out what the white spots are and what treatment, if any, is appropriate.

Answer 13

Possibly candidiasis: Candidiasis, sometimes called thrush, is a fungal infection that can cause white patches on the tongue. Usually these patches can be scrapped off and leave a bleeding surface. It is easily treatable with medication. Have your child evaluated by there pediatric dentist or pediatrician. They should be able to tell you if this is candidiasis.

Answer 14

More info: Recommend a dental visit to diagnose as your question does not furnish enough information.
