Tongue-related fungal infections, particularly those caused by an overgrowth of Candida fungus, can develop due to various underlying factors. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, recent or prolonged use of antibiotics, and weakened immune system function. These conditions disrupt the balance of natural microorganisms in the mouth, allowing Candida to thrive.
Symptoms – Red Glossy Tongue:
One noticeable symptom is a smooth, red, and glossy appearance of the tongue, often accompanied by a burning sensation. This discomfort can intensify when consuming spicy or acidic foods. In some cases, this condition may also be linked to systemic issues like iron-deficiency anemia, leading to fatigue and other related symptoms.
