Glossitis: Why Is My Tongue So Swollen and Painful? - #14825
A few days ago, my tongue started feeling swollen and sore, almost like it was burned. At first, I ignored it, but now it’s getting worse. It feels smooth, red, and sometimes even tingles. I looked it up, and it seems like it could be glossitis. I have no idea why this is happening. Could it be due to a vitamin deficiency? I don’t eat a lot of leafy greens or dairy, so maybe that’s affecting my tongue? Or could it be something I’m eating that’s irritating it? I also noticed that after drinking hot tea or spicy food, the pain gets worse. I want to know if Ayurveda has treatments for glossitis that don’t just mask the pain but actually heal the root cause. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs or mouth rinses that help with glossitis? Should I be changing my diet to fix this? If anyone has dealt with glossitis using Ayurveda, what helped the most? How long does it take to heal completely? And is there anything I should completely avoid until my tongue gets better?
