Redness of tounge
I have something like this on my tounge. I think I ate some hot thing yesterday, but I am not sure. Could it be something serious? Or just burning or biting. Bit irritation.

Hello.... Welcome to prxacto..
The picture doesn't show anything serious.
Apply coconut oil..
If you feel any discomfort then apply dentogel ointment twice a day for three days. Apply it for two minutes, a pea size quantity and wash it off.
Avoid swallowing it.. Avoid eating food with the ointment.. But a little or very small amount of swallowing is not danger.. Don't worry..
Next Steps
after three days if you have any discomfort or any swelling or increase in size or more redness, then consult me for further details..
Health Tips
thank you..
