Geographic tongue 03607...UK
A 9-year-old boy had been suffering from recurrent, irregularly shaped, smooth red patches varying in size, on his tongue (see pic) for the past five years since 2018. These episodes occurred twice a month, each lasting about 10 days, causing pain and burning sensation while eating. As this affected his food intake, the concerned mother consulted a doctor who diagnosed the condition as geographic tongue and prescribed steroid tablets and NSAID spray, which he used for two months without any relief. Since then, symptoms were managed by avoiding spicy food. When the mother learnt about vibrionics, she consulted the practitioner who gave on 21 Feb 2023:
#1. CC11.5 Mouth infections + CC12.2 Child tonic…TDS
Treatment progress:
- 11 May 2023: No change, remedy enhanced to #2. CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases + CC21.10 Psoriasis + #1...TDS.
