What Causes Tongue Pain?
My 11 year old daughter , is complaining of tongue pain x 2 days, and it is making it hard for her to eat. she does have a history of MEN 2B syndrome diagnosed 2 years ago. it was found incidentally and her thyroid was removed and there was no spread into her lymph nodes. she does have neuromas on her tongue and i was wondering if that could be the cause.

Thanks for the query.
1.Geographical tongue,
Also known as benign migratory glossitis or oral erythema migrans, geographical tongue is a common condition.
2.Oral thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth caused by a fungus.
3.Anaemia is a condition where the amount of haemoglobin in the blood is below the normal level, or there are fewer red blood cells than normal. It can sometimes cause a sore tongue, as well as an altered sense of taste.
Hope i helped you.
