My Son Has Geographic Tongue
i believe these lesions exist on his tongue becuz he had a severe case of thrush as a child. the doctors tried everything possible but it was very persistant, despite my boiling bottles & nipples between every use & very diligent hygiene. i don't know this is the case i only suspect. may possibly have been the meds that were used themselves. at any rate, the doctors say nothing can be done. he is 14 and still cannot eat or drink anything hot or even mildly spicy. even orange juice is uncomfortable.

Re: My Son Has Geographic Tongue
That's the given diagnosis. It changes in appearance. Sometimes it just appears as patches. He drinks a soda, the holes/lesions get worse. It only bothers him if he tries to eat something spicy. Have seen plenty of drs, Boone has any helpful advice or rx.

Re: My Son Has Geographic Tongue
I hope they figure out what it is and give him some relief. No pickles either!
