Suggest Remedy For The Burnt Mouth And Tongue In A Breast Fed Child

my son has burnt his mouth on a hot stone oil burner. He has a white burn mark on the tip of his tongue and just on the front of his tongue. Unfortunatly he can not breastfeed as it is obviously too painful. Have given him some painkiller. Is there anything i should be looking for or need to do?

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain it seems that your son has got ulcer on the tongue tip of tongue due to burning and due to it there is inflammation and burning sensation of the tip leading to pain..

Along with giving him a painkiller you can apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the ulcer to relieve pain as it will numb the area..
Along with it do cool compresses over the tongue tip to reduce inflammation and pain..
You can also give anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen as it will reduce inflammation and also relieve pain..

In case if you do not see any improvement consult a Paediatric dentist and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
