1. The reason why blisters grow at the root of the tongue close to the throat

If a patient with tongue disease develops blisters at the root of the tongue, it is necessary to consider that it is caused by inflammation and heat, and pain may occur. Patients need to take anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. Secondly, they should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, eat a light diet, and rinse their mouths after eating.

2. Glossitis

Glossitis refers to an inflammation of the tongue characterized by redness, swelling, heat and pain, and refers to various diseases of the tongue. The tongue is a special part of the human body. Changes in tongue quality and tongue coating can often reflect changes in internal organ function, so it plays a very important role in Chinese medicine diagnosis. In fact, the tongue itself can also develop various diseases, the most common of which are tongue bites, burns, ulcers, tumors, etc. There are also some special tongue diseases that are caused by developmental defects or certain special reasons.

Causes

There are many causes of glossitis, the most common of which are systemic factors, such as malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, menstrual cycle effects, anemia, fungal infections, and abuse of antibiotics. Common local factors include sharp tooth tips, dental calculus, poor restorations and eating irritating foods. In recent years, the widespread use or abuse of antibiotics has caused the imbalance of normal intestinal flora, leading to insufficient riboflavin production, and the disease is not uncommon.

Clinical manifestations

1. This disease often occurs in the front part of the tongue, especially the tip and edge of the tongue, and is particularly obvious in the front half of the tongue. Feeling of numbness, burning pain, pain when eating, etc. Sometimes symptoms such as dry mouth may occur due to decreased saliva. The course of the disease is protracted, with remission and exacerbation alternating.

2. At the beginning, there are several smooth small spots like red glaze on the tongue, or most of the tongue surface is like beef, purple-red and smooth. These lesions or normal tongue surfaces are often accompanied by superficial ulcers or recurrent follicular stomatitis. In female patients, similar changes may occur in the vagina.

3. The filiform papillae of the tongue may atrophy, become thinner or disappear, so the surface of the tongue appears fiery red with shallow fissures. In the early stage of atrophy of the filiform papillae, the fungiform papillae swell and appear more prominent, and then gradually atrophy in the later stage, eventually becoming a "smooth tongue".

4. Accompanied by atrophic glossitis, it is often a significant symptom of critical illness and can also be a manifestation of death.

5. If glossitis is accompanied by erosions at the corners of the mouth, chapped or red lips, dry and desquamated skin, and scrotitis, it indicates riboflavin deficiency.

6. In pernicious anemia, tongue atrophy may be accompanied by painful, purple-red, chronically eroded patches, in which the filiform papillae disappear or become thinner, while the fungiform papillae swell and are sensitive to irritating foods. This is called Hunter glossitis. This type of erosion mainly occurs on the tip, edge and surface of the tongue, and occasionally on the lips, cheeks and palate mucosa.
