There are small bumps under the frenulum

The reason why the human tongue can move flexibly is because there is a frenulum under the tongue. If the frenulum is missing under the tongue, the tongue cannot move freely and it will also bring great inconvenience to people when eating. Therefore, tongue tie is a very important thing for people. Next, let me tell you what to do if there are small bumps under the tongue tie.

1. Why are there small bumps under the frenulum of the tongue?

1. Tongue tie (frenulum) refers to a thin strip of tissue between the tongue and the floor of the mouth when a child opens his mouth and pries up his tongue. A normal tongue tie allows the tongue to move freely, and the tip of the tongue can naturally extend out of the mouth or lick upwards to the upper gums. This condition is an opening of the sublingual gland duct. Belongs to the normal organizational structure.

2. Causes of pathological small bumps under the frenulum

1. Some are caused by oral inflammation, and are also related to vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders and other factors. Patients are advised to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment.

2. If it is a polyp, don't be too nervous. Polyps are actually proliferative granulation tissue caused by trauma, inflammation, etc. They can usually be removed surgically, but there may be a possibility of recurrence. There is no seasonal restriction for surgery. Laser, freezing, etc. can also be used. Generally, surgical resection is performed, which has the best therapeutic effect and can be performed in outpatient clinics.

3. Small bumps under the tongue may also be caused by getting angry. Don’t worry too much about it. You should strengthen your physical conditioning and take certain antibiotics for treatment. In addition, you must quit smoking and drinking to avoid adverse stimulation. Usually, you should drink more water, eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy and greasy foods.

3. Common diseases in infants: drool rash

Drool rash is caused by the skin being frequently stimulated by physical factors such as moisture and friction, which can cause damage to the skin's stratum corneum and cause drool rash. Its clinical manifestations include local skin flushing, pain, and mild swelling, most often around the lips.

4. How to care for drool rash

1. Wipe in time

Once the baby starts drooling, wipe it off immediately with a clean towel. Because the baby's skin is relatively tender, you must be careful when wiping it, and it is best to "dip" it. The small towel you choose should also be a soft, absorbent cotton handkerchief.

2. Wash and apply frequently

Wash the areas where saliva flows frequently with warm water, and apply Children's Oral Health to protect the baby's delicate skin.

3. Change and dry your clothes frequently

When babies drool, their clothes, pillows, bedding, etc. will get wet. Change your baby's clothes frequently to prevent bacteria from growing. Pillows, bedding, etc. should also be washed and dried frequently, and dried in the sun to sterilize.

4. Put a bib on your baby

If you want to reduce the number of times you wash clothes, you might as well let your baby wear a bib to prevent saliva from staining clothes.
