Tongue itching. On jaw 10 yrs before)

Hi, I’m Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat. Unilateral itching of the tongue can be attributed to a variety of causes. These include: 1. Local Irritants and Mechanical Trauma 2. Contact Allergies and Hypersensitivity Reactions 3. Oral Mucosal Disorders (e.g., lichen planus, candidiasis) 4. Dental Factors (e.g., sharp tooth, prosthetic appliances, dental fillings) 5. Neuropathic Disorders (e.g., trigeminal or glossopharyngeal neuralgia) 6. Post-Herpetic Neuralgia or Herpes Zoster Involvement 7. Viral Infections (e.g., herpes simplex) 8. Nutritional Deficiencies (vitamin B12, iron, folate) 9. Systemic Conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus) 10. Burning Mouth Syndrome (with atypical unilateral presentation) 11. Referred Sensations from ENT or sinonasal pathologies 12. Psychogenic or Idiopathic Causes It is important to note that establishing a definitive diagnosis requires a thorough history, clinical examination, and, when necessary, appropriate investigations.

Kindly consult the nearest ENT specialist for proper evaluation and care.
