How to cure swollen foliate papillae?
Patient: I have swollen foliate papillae.  I'm a bit concerned... I have been going to my doctor for him ignore my symptoms.  My tongue has been burning, some itching as well on tongue and throat at times.  I was treated for yeast due to slimy coating on side of tongue.  Now, the side of my tongue is red, burning a bit, have a weird taste and is swollen.  At times, I get a swollen side of the tongue, feels bruised and I get a sore throat and ear on that same side that is affected (mostly the right side).  I was thinking food intolerance or something.  Not sure! Doctor: hellooo...having gone through your query i can say that it can be due to some fungal infection mostly and also vitamin deficiency in the diet....so nothing too much to wory...stop having too much spicy food...then drink lots and lots of water ..take vitamin b complex or multivitamin tablet for two weeks...apply antifungal topical application to your tongue....brush twice daily....do chlorhexidine mouth rinse..above all reduce any stress and tension...tension is cause of most diseases...be happy....have a healthy day!!!
