i was looking up stuff for a friend and happened to notice that symptom. It was a thyroid condition, I think it was lingual thyroid.

My 5 year old daughter appears to have another small tongue growing at the back of her throat. It is quite bizarre and i have never seen anything like it. It is right at the back and can only be seen when checking for a sore throat and opens her mouth very wide. Is it really a phenomenon as there is so little on the web.


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 09/04/2009
Can I please ask if you ever had any outcome from this as my daughter has the same thing. We took her to the doctors toay and he also said he has never seen anything like it and has referred us to a specialist but it is driving me crazy



Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 09/10/2009
I have just noticed the same exact think on my son. He is about the same age, four-and-a-half. I was checking his throat when I noticed it; I have never noticed it before now, nor have I seen or heard of anything like this. Does anyone know what this is??

I recently asked the kids' doctor and she told me it was his epiglottis I was seeing. She told me most people can't stick their tongues out that far and that's why I hadn't noticed it before; nothing abnormal after all. Hope this helps some of you!

I have had a swollen and white smooth tongue (occasionally sore) for about six months - any clues please?


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 01/18/2010
hi, it may be a cause of a yeast infection, babies usually get this when they are born. If it's sore, and has been there for about 6 months, you may want to visit your doctor and get a blood test done. It could also be signs of HIV.

my ten-year old daughter's tongue squirts water or clear colorless liquid from under the tonque, particularly at its base.

my neice is six months old and has a large tongue is this normal. Other then her tongue she seems perfectly healthy.


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 06/03/2009
If she has no Respiratory and Feeding difficulties then there is nothing to worry



Posted by:  Ellie36  Posted on: 11/23/2011
How is your neice now? My little 9 month old was just told that her tongue is large so i have to take her to doctor or friday for more test. I'm worried even though the doctor and husband doesn't seem to worry as much but I was looking up the symptoms and so far the only thing i see is yes she snores and yes she plays w/ her teeth but that could be becuase she is teething now so how do we know whats the problem. How serious is this? Should i be freaking out like I am doing or wills he grow in her tongue. Thats what the doctor said that she will do but i dont know about that, please someone help me understand this and put my fear at ease.
