What Causes Redness And Soreness In Tongue?
Hello Sir, I am 80 years old , (more like 50), female, and I have a very sore tongue. It is very sore and red and looks like it has cracks in it. When I eat certain things, it burns. Even when I brush my teeth. What could cause this? Never had anything like this in all my life.
