Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have swollen foliate papillae. I'm a bit concerned.My tongue has been burning, some itching as well on tongue and throat at times. I get a swollen side of the tongue, feels bruised and I get a sore throat and ear on that same side that is affected (mostly the left side.)
HI. This is a case of glossitis. The probable reasons or deficiency of vitamins and folic acid. Many patients who have colon problems can have this , so it is better to get this too checked and treated - You need a treatment with multivitamins , a course of antibiotic and metronidazole and supportive medicines.
