Map tongue is a common disease in children, and its incidence is related to mental and neurological factors, physical factors and nutritional factors. At first, the lesions were small, and then gradually increased, while developing and repairing, constantly changing and wandering, often changing positions overnight. Children with map tongues generally have no obvious symptoms. Eating irritating food can cause tongue discomfort, burning, itching, accompanied by loss of appetite, irritability and other manifestations.

For children's tongue, you can take the following countermeasures at home.

◆ Pay attention to rest and diet.

First of all, we should arrange our lives reasonably to ensure that children have enough sleep time and avoid excessive fatigue. Enrich all kinds of meals in time to ensure adequate nutrition intake.

◆ Eliminate infection focus and avoid irritation.

Some bacteria in the mouth can also induce map tongue. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check whether the child's oral cavity and buccal mucosa have infected lesions, and treat them in time once found. At the same time, avoid stimulating factors that may induce the disease, such as some antibiotics.

◆ Drug therapy

For children with chronic persistent diseases, attention should be paid to mucosal damage and oral vitamin B or zinc sulfate preparation should be given. Children with iron deficiency anemia should be supplemented with iron to correct anemia

◆ Symptomatic treatment

Keep the sick child's mouth clean and hygienic. Every morning, you can gently brush 1~2 times from the back of your tongue with a soft toothbrush to remove the exfoliated epithelium. At the same time, give weak alkaline drugs to gargle, such as 2% sodium borate or 0.5% sodium bicarbonate solution, which can be dripped with a dropper. Children who are restless and unwilling to eat because of pain can be coated with non-irritating disinfectant, such as chlortetracycline solution.
