**Response:**
**Answer:**
Your daughter's burning tongue following recent illness could be due to:
1. **Post-viral glossitis** (tongue inflammation after infection)
2. **Oral thrush** (fungal infection, especially if antibiotics were used)
3. **Vitamin deficiency** (B12/iron) from poor intake during illness
4. **Acid irritation** from vomiting
**Recommended Care:**
1. **Symptom Relief:**
- Cold foods (yogurt, ice chips)
- Topical oral gel (lidocaine-based, if age-appropriate)
- Honey (if >1 year old) to coat the tongue
2. **Avoid:**
- Spicy/acidic foods
- Hot beverages
- Alcohol-based mouthwashes
3. **Medical Evaluation Needed If:**
- White patches (thrush)
- Persistent symptoms >3 days
- Signs of dehydration
**Next Steps:**
- Continue hydration with cool fluids
- Monitor for thrush (creamy white lesions)
- Consider multivitamin if eating poorly
**Consultation:**
