Question : I have been experiencing a sore patchy red tongue
Brief Answer:
Vitamin B complex
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Sore tongue, also known as geographic tongue usually happens due to lack of vitamin B complex in body.
Take Vitamin B complex daily for a month and apply triamcinolone oral paste twice daily for a week.
This combination works well.
It is safe and effective.
You can try this.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
