However, babies’ map tongue is not always due to spleen and stomach discomforts, and its specific causes are more varied, so timely consultation with a doctor is recommended.
The tongue is irregularly peeled off, with raised edges and clear boundaries, resembling a map, and the parts are sometimes shifted, which is called map tongue.
