Therapy | Red spots on the tongue

Therapy

The therapy always depends on the respective underlying disease. Due to the large number of possible causes, the medication here can be very different. However, some general measures can help against the symptoms, such as a burning sensation on the tongue or in the mouth and against the unpleasant feeling caused by irritation and possible swelling.

These include disinfectant solutions such as chlorhexidine, Tantum Verde or others. Herbal solutions of salt water, chamomile, sage or thyme can also help. Although throat pain tablets are not designed for use on the tongue per se, they do help to relieve the pain.

However, you should avoid particularly irritating substances, such as sour fruit, so as not to irritate the tongue even more. In spite of all these measures, one should still not do without a visit to the doctor so that one receives a therapy adapted to the respective cause.
