Tongue Infection
A tongue infection is an infection that affects the tongue and can be caused by fungi, bacteria, or viruses, causing inflammation, discomfort, and changes in the appearance of the tongue's surface.
Common symptoms: redness, burning, pain when eating or speaking, white patches, sores, or a feeling of swelling in the tongue may be present.
Common causes: it is associated with poor oral hygiene, injuries from rubbing or bites, certain fungi such as candidiasis, or low defenses.
Which specialist treats it? The dentist, the general practitioner, and, in specific cases, the infectious disease specialist or the maxillofacial surgeon can assess the condition. If tongue discomfort persists or worsens, it is worth having it reviewed with one of these professionals to identify the cause.
