Hairy tongue is a harmless condition that involves enlargement and profusion of tongue papillae, causing the tongue to appear hairy or furry. Hairy tongue is not a harmful disorder, although its appearance can be worrisome. The disorder usually clears with antibiotics.
Possible causes of a hairy tongue:
antibiotic therapy
bacteria, food, tobacco, coffee, or dyes in drugs and food
chronic debilitating disorders
habitual use of mouthwashes containing oxidizing or astringent agents.
irradiation of the head and neck
Do you feel pain in your tongue? What color is your tongue? Do you have temporary swelling, color changes or enlargement of your tongue?
It also could be a kind of anemia, like your doc said, vitamin deficit, but mostly vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Let us know maybe we could help you ... |
