What Is The Cure For Itchy Tongue Of A 8 Year Old Child?
My 8 yr old son has had an itchy tongue for over a week now. We took him to the pediatrician and she saw nothing wrong. We took him to an allergist and everything came back negative so he has no allergies. He says it s driving him crazy but there are no markings on his tongue. How can we give him some relief?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
itchy tongue could Possibly be due to Vitamin B 2 deficiency causing glossitis.
Itchines develops well before clinical sign are obvious
local application of glycerine and oral multivitamin syrup will be beneficial.
Take care
