Tongue tie is a condition where the tongue is attached to the underside of the mouth, restricting its movement. This can cause feeding difficulties and speech problems in infants and young children. It should be assessed by a qualified clinician to confirm and rule out, especially if symptoms worsen. Treatment is decided by a clinician after confirming the diagnosis. No dosing information is given here.
