Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that red spots on the tongue of your toddler that are sore and cause pain during eating can be due to causes like swollen and inflamed tongue papillae, viral infection causing cold sores, allergic reaction, canker sores etc..

I would suggest you to continue giving Paracetamol and along with it give her cool foods that will help in reducing inflammation and pain..
Sucking ice lollies can help..
Give her soft diet and plenty of fluids..
Avoid spicy and hard foods..

In case if there is no improvement consult a Pedodontist and get her evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
