What could constant sticking of tongue in children suggest?
Patient: when i picked my daughter(2years old) up from day care yesterday i noticed she kept sticking her tongue in out of her mouth...she did this the rest of the night and did not fall asleep until 7 this morning after she woke up this morning she has continues to stick her tongue in and out of her mouth...its seems to be involuntary Doctor: Hi.... I understand your concern. As she has started doing it suddenly, I feel that she has picked it up on seeing some other kid doing it at the daycare. Usually this is the most common cause of kids picking up habit like this.She will forget and be out of it. Don't worry.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
