Red spots in the tongue

Language is a card of human health. If the tongue is dry, bitter, too red or too pale, red spots appear on the tongue, this indicates that the person is sick. For example, the crimson color of the tongue is one of the symptoms of scarlet fever, which means you need to see a doctor immediately.

Many people face stains in a language of unknown origin and do not know how to deal with them. You can wake up in the morning and see a red spot on the tongue.

Let's talk about the most common reasons for the appearance of a stain in the language and ways of treating it.

If you have large white plaques on the tongue that are easily removed, then this is a thrush of the oral cavity. The causes of this disease are many: some infectious diseases, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes, smoking, beriberi, and others. To find out why there are red spots in the tongue, you need to consult a dentist. Using a microscopic examination, the doctor will diagnose and prescribe the treatment.

The course of treatment basically lasts 10-15 days, depending on the severity of the disease. White or yellow painful ulcers indicate that you have increased stomach acidity. The sores should be lubricated with Lugol's solution or iodine, and rinsing the mouth with a solution of furacillin or hydrogen peroxide. If the ulcers have not passed, then, most likely, it is aphthous stomatitis - inflammation of the mucous membrane. It is also characterized by red spots on the tongue. The causes of inflammation of the mucosa are no less than the causes of thrush. This may be a lack of vitamins C, B and trace elements, and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and diseases of the oral cavity (pulpitis). Even mechanical damage can lead to the development of stomatitis. This disease is serious, you yourself can not cure it. Therefore, with the first symptoms (ulcers, temperature, malaise, loss of appetite), contact the dentist who will prescribe the appropriate treatment. The first thing you will do is antiseptic cleansing of the mouth, and then prescribe drugs according to the cause of the disease. The treatment lasts 1-2 weeks, then the patient observes a strict diet (no fried, sharp, etc.).

If you have red spots in a tongue with a yellow rim, then perhaps this is a "geographical language". The most common causes of the "geographical language" are diseases of the digestive tract and circulatory system, but the same language can be found in pregnant women. During treatment of this disease, if you are not concerned about pain, you need to brush your teeth with toothpaste containing berry juice. And also drink green tea as a preventative.

If you start to worry about burning and pain in your mouth, red spots appear on the tongue, you should contact the dentist so that he can sanitize the oral cavity.

If you have red spots on your tongue and itches, it can be shingles, a virus transmitted by contact and airborne droplets. With it there may be complications: malaise, chills, fever. For all these symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately. Because the consequences can be terrible: hepatitis, smallpox, duodenal ulcers, suppuration. Treatment of this disease is a long process. The first thing it will be aimed at fighting pain and stopping the spread of the virus. Then the doctor will prescribe the required vitamins, antiviral drugs and ointments. And in no case with this disease do not take a bath!

Shankra (solid red sores), located on the front third of the tongue, speak of a terrible human disease - syphilis. And since this disease is venereal, the venereologist will take care of it.

Keep track of your language - this is an indicator of your health!
