Child Has Peeling Tongue, No Pain. Need For Worry?
Hello, my stepdaughters tongue peeled a little bit today. It's about the size of a sqiushed pea. She says she has no pain and doesn't feel any different. She said she felt something on her tongue and went to investigate and peeled a small part off. When I looked in her mouth there was a little bit left that looked like a bubble gum. She peeled that and everything else looks fine. Even the freshly peeled spot looks normal. I know she had some salt foods today but this has never happened before. Is this something to be worried about?
