Please consult a dentist to confirm if it's actually a geographic tounge or something else... Even vitamin deficiency can lead to depapilation to name a few.

Geographic tongue is usually a self limiting condition. But see a dentist to diagnose whether your daughter actually has it or not. It could be Just loss of papillae due to consuming some hot food or drink
