GLOSSITIS: UNDERSTANDING THE INFLAMMATION OF THE TONGUE
Abstract
Ever had your tongue suddenly feel sore, look unusually red, or even appear swollen and smooth? That could be glossitis, an inflammatory condition of the tongue. While it may appear as an isolated issue, it often serves as a clue that something deeper is happening in your body. Causes range from nutrient deficiencies and infections to autoimmune conditions. In this article, we’ll explore what glossitis looks like, what triggers it, how doctors diagnose it, and the treatment approaches available—along with some fascinating facts along the way.
