Abstract

 Geographic tongue, also called benign migratory glossitis, is a common condition that affects the tongue's surface. It appears as smooth patches with white borders that change over time. Most people do not have any symptoms, but some may feel a burning sensation, especially when eating spicy or sour foods. This case report is about a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with geographic tongue. He was treated with a carefully chosen homoeopathic remedy. After a detailed assessment and treatment planning, he experienced significant relief from his symptoms within a few months.
