What are the symptoms of lingual papillitis?

The tongue is the most important sensory organ of the human body, especially the sense of taste occupies the most important functional position on the tongue. However, since the tongue has no bone protection, it appears very soft, and the tongue is prone to some diseases, which have a great impact on the body. For example, lingual papillitis is a very painful disease, and many people suffer from it. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of lingual papillitis.

1. Smooth tongue. This is one of the most common symptoms of lingual papillitis. Patients will have filiform papillae and fungiform papillae, which will atrophy due to different reasons. A more serious symptom will be that the tongue surface is as smooth as a mirror. If it is caused by vitamin B2 deficiency, the smooth tongue will show mild atrophy and edema of the fungiform papillae, and the tongue will appear as a "strawberry tongue" and finally a "mirror tongue". It causes lingual papillitis, which causes the tongue to become congested and red. Patients should seek treatment as soon as possible, otherwise the condition will become more serious.

2. Fungal papillitis, papillary congestion and edema, red lesions in the form of dots are the most obvious symptoms of this type of disease. The patient's pain is significantly aggravated when the inflammation occurs. The patient's tongue has extensive and severe pain. Anemia, vitamin deficiency, and local irritation can cause this type of disease.

3. Foliate papillitis. This type of disease is located at the posterior edge of the tongue on both sides and is more obvious at the root of the tongue. Because this area is in the lymphatic tissue, pharyngeal inflammation can spread here. The patient will experience local congestion, edema, and pain, and if it does not heal for a long time, ulceration will occur.

4. Contour papillitis . This disease occurs at the root of the tongue. The papillary papillae are the size of sorghum grains and are arranged horizontally. Local pain, congestion and taste disturbance are its obvious symptoms. Patients should be treated as soon as possible and take good care measures.

Therefore, we must do a good job of nursing in daily life, especially dietary measures. Patients must drink more water and eat more vegetables. If we do a good job of related nursing work, the disease can be cured in a short time.
