Tongue ulcers in babies

9 replies

Pupuce · 11/07/2001 10:13

My 19 months old son has developped in the past week or so blisters/ulcers? on his tongue. It is obviously painful and he gets bad breath. At first I thought he had burned his tongue or bitten it with his big new teeth ! But then it appeared on the other side of his tongue and now it has appeared in a third location on the tongue though it isn't as bas and his breath is OK again.
Has anyone experienced this ? The initial problem was a "large" beige/brown spot, now they are more like white spots.

Thanks

My daughter (2 years old) also gets ulcers on her tongue and I am told by a dentist these show she has an iron deficency. The dentist suggested we give her more spinach and brocolli.

Pupuce, my dd had terrible mouth ulcers when she was cutting her back teeth at about 2.5. I just used Bonjela on them, and as far as I can remember (it is 2 years ago!) they went quite quickly once the teeth were through.

I have just asked my dentist about this and he has told me that it's because ds system is run down. It's basically a virus we all have in ourselves but when we are "weak" it can manifest itself.
There is something he can take but I am not going down that road as it always dissapear within 3-4 days.
He also gets a very severe nappy rash when his teeth come out.

Hi my little Lad who is 13 months also has these little white blisters on his tongue that I only noticed this morning but he's actually been unwell for about 2 days now and I just put it down to him teething because he hasn't ate as much as he usually does either. Are these white blisters caused because he is teething which he's teeth have been coming in pairs I noticed that he has 4 coming through at once and he already has 12 completely through. He also had a nappy rash which he has never had before I'm not sure I think I maybe best to take him to see a doctor but I just wanted to see what u other mums did
