So if you notice a Strawberry Tongue then you should see a doctor to make sure you're not coming down with some other infection, are allergic to some medicines, foods or you have scarlet fever or Kawasaki Disease.

The Strawberry Tongue usually goes away on it's own and lasts only about 1 to 2 weeks depending on the cause of the Strawberry Tongue.
