Why is the root of the tongue hard?

When people think of a hard tongue, the first thing that comes to mind is that it may be a more serious condition such as cerebral thrombosis or cerebral infarction, which are more familiar to people. This is because these are more typical symptoms of such diseases. If this is the case, you need to seek medical attention in time and there must be no delay. Check and diagnose as soon as possible. However, hard tongue is not always a serious condition. After all, it is only a minority. Others may be milder glossitis, etc.

1. The swallowing reflex is quite serious, that is, you will feel very nauseous when there is something in your throat. There is no way to treat it, and it does not need treatment. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can train your swallowing reflex by yourself, just stimulate your throat frequently, and your tolerance will gradually improve.

2. This situation may be related to transient cerebral ischemia, which refers to a temporary dysfunction of brain tissue in a certain area due to insufficient blood supply. It is usually related to cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc. This requires strengthening the treatment of the primary disease and improving brain blood supply. These diseases may develop into cerebral infarction, so they need active treatment.

3. This condition is most often caused by abnormalities in the glossopharyngeal nerve. It is not an ENT disease, but a neurological disease. It is recommended to go to the neurology department of the hospital for a physical examination of the cranial nerves. Combined with the examination, the diagnosis can be confirmed.

4. Considering the possibility of cerebral infarction, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately to take a head CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. After that, some drugs to soften and dredge blood vessels should be used. In addition, blood pressure should be checked to control it within the normal range. Low-salt and low-fat diet should be used, and rest should be ensured.

5. The effect of Western medicine treatment is not very ideal. When taking medicine is ineffective, the only option is surgery. However, surgery only removes the bone spurs on the surface, which will grow back after a while. Nowadays, hospitals can treat some emergencies and perform some major surgeries. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine. This plaster is based on acupuncture point treatment and the effect is good.

6. If there is a reaction at the root of the tongue, it is most likely a problem with the facial nerve. It may also be caused by inflammation. In this case, you need to use anti-inflammatory drugs to improve it and recover slowly. If it is a neurological symptom, you need to take nerve nourishing drugs to improve it.

7. In this case, it is related to the compression of nerves by the brain blood vessels. In this case, it needs to be recovered slowly. Pay attention to eating a light diet, taking oral Chinese medicine, doing functional exercises, and be careful not to eat greasy food.

8. The symptom of hard root of tongue needs to be taken seriously. It is recommended to go to the neurology department of the hospital for examination. First, rule out whether there are brain diseases such as cerebral ischemia, etc. I hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you.
