Possible glossitis: is an inflammation (redness, swelling, pain, burning ) of the tongue. Burning is one of the common symptoms of the glossitis. Most cases of glossitis are minor and can be treated with home remedies. The main causes of glossitis are: allergy, infection, medication side effect or injury to the tongue, and nutritional deficiencies. See your PCP for physical and labs.
