Geographic tongue

Any moms experience this with their LO? DS2 is 14 months, and at one of his dr appts months ago, his doctor said he has a geographic tongue. It’s these spots on his tongue that can look similar to thrush, but I looked it up and they’re actually sores. Dr said that it wasn’t anything to worry about and can be common. That was months ago. But now, I’m starting to realize DS2 isn’t eating as much. He’s become very picky and I’m starting to wonder if his tongue is hurting him. This kid used to eat anything and everything under the sun. Any tips to help him to eat more, or foods that won’t irritate his tongue?

My daughter had it & they said it didn't hurt them I guess it's the texture they have on their tounge​ my daughter is 6 now & she dosent have it anymore my doc said it was normal in smaller kids & my daughter never complained that it hurt. & Maybe he's just becoming a pick eater some kids around 14 months is when they start to pick & choose what they like to eat I doubt it's the geographic tounge he has. & I know theirs days where it might look a little more red but it dosent hurt I would think so too & I would ask my daughter if I could touch it & she would say yea & she wouldn't say it would hurt. Her tounge started looking better after being 4? hope this helps

I had it.

The dentist told me to use toothpaste that doesn't have "sodium laurel sulfate" in it.

After I cut that out, it went away completely.

@monkeys thank you! I feel like a shat mom now because he used to eat oranges alllll the time and he just recently started only sucking some of the juice out of them and then taking them out of his mouth ? I never put 2 and 2 together, that they could be making him uncomfortable and he was getting irritated with it. Is there anything you can use to help soothe it if you get a flare up in pain?

I get it during pregnancy. Usually it doesn't bother me at all, but for some reason apples will make it sting for awhile. (Other more acidic fruits like oranges are fine ?‍♀️)

I have it, but it's not really sores, it just kind of looks like flattened in a certain spot. It does make your tongue kind of sore though.

I’ve had it all my life. Usually it could be a vitamin B deficiency but usually it’s harmless. I can eat anything and it doesn’t bother it

I have geographic tongue also*

But acidic foods tomatoes anything really tart can irritate it

mimixtmn My 10 year old has geographic tongue this is what it looks like at times. It can
thekingsdaughter Most likely from antibiotics if he’s on them for the ear. I can give him children’s probiotics
ladyfreyja So just an update he went to the doctors today, they looked farther down into his throat
