HI.
The geographical tongue has no specific causative factors and many times no treatment is needed.
He needs the treatment of stomach upsets in the form of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics for a course of minimum 5 days.
This may help.
Spicy food should be reduced only if he has a direct relation with the stomach issue , otherwise there is no reason to stop this.
Ask him to take Anti-oxidants (multi-vitamins) for a long time.
