Dear madam, I am from kolkata. This question is for my son who is 6 years old. Since last 15-20 days we saw a red patch on his tongue. No pain or eating problem observed. As per local doctor suggestion we already use mouthwash which is contain benzydamine hci and chlorhexidine gluconate and multivitamin +multi mineral syrup. But not showing any development. It's showing like increasing spot. Further like to inform you that my son is taking budecort inhaler on regular basis from more than one year. So in that situation kindly suggest something for me.

Redish patch on the tongue can be due to glossitis. I will need to see the picture of your sons tongue to suggest you further.

Budecort may cause fungal infection of the tongue which is usually red in color, but may sometimes present as whitish pink. Kindly use the inhaler with the spacer amd for now, use candid mouth paint while the child is about to sleep and continue using the mouth wash. If not this, the patch can be caused due to vitamin b deficiency and oral ulcers. So you may add vitamin b-complex one capsule twice daily for 2 months! for more detailed opinion share the picture next time.

If there is no pain, it is probably due to the use of budecort. You can check with the doctor who had prescribed it as to whether they can provide an alternative. It should not be an issue if it is not growing rapidly and is devoid of pain.
