Help! A heat-spot on my tongue!

A fur on the tongue is not everything!

Many people know the unpleasant feeling of having a little heat-spot

on the tongue. The tongue begins burning from sour, spicy or very hot

food. It reddens and swells. In cases when inflammation is only on the

tongue, it is named glossitis. But if there is a deep

trauma of the tongue, then a person can get suppurative inflammation

in the muscles with an edema and a swallowing disturbance. This is called

an abscess.

What should you do if you notice something wrong? Don't panic, but go

to a dentist. He will advise you about what to do. In some cases, you

may be able to manage this problem at home. For example, if you have

a heat-spot on your tongue, you can reduce the pain

by rinsing your mouth with a hydrogen peroxide solution

(one teaspoon of solution in a glass of water), a pink solution of permanganat

of potassium or a warm broth of camomile or sage.
