Detailed Answer:


Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having glossitis.


Based on yopur clinical details, it appears chronic glossitis (mucosal ulcers of oral cavity) secondary to nutritional deficiencies.


I suggest you to follow these measures to overcome your chronic health issue.


1. Good oral hygiene (thorough tooth brushing at least twice a day), Drinking plenty of water.

2. Avoid irritants (such as hot or spicy foods, alcohol, and tobacco).

3. Evaluate ent surgeon, detailed ent examination (Sjögren's syndrome, diabetes), blood tests for nutritional deficiencies ( iron, folic acid, niacin, calcium, vitamin E and blood sugar).

4. Last but not least- stress free life style.
