What causes red blisters on the tongue?

There are many reasons for red blisters on the tongue, such as colds, getting angry, etc., which may cause such symptoms. In addition, not paying attention to personal hygiene or oral ulcers may also cause such symptoms. This is also related to the body's immunity. If this phenomenon occurs frequently, you should go to the hospital for corresponding examinations.

Causes of oral inflammation

1. Eating too much

It turns out that the overly refined diet of urban residents is also related to the occurrence of oral ulcers. Take rice for example. The skin contains vitamin B2 and trace element zinc. However, in order to make the rice look white and taste better, rice processors remove the surface layer of the rice, resulting in the loss of the above nutrients. Eating too much of this kind of rice lacks these nutrients and is prone to oral ulcers. Therefore, doctors remind people to eat more vegetables and fruits, and supplement vitamin B2 and zinc gluconate.

2. Immune related

For common recurrent oral ulcers, most people use topical medications to treat them when they occur. However, since they do not target the cause, even if they are temporarily effective, they will recur in the future. Recurrent oral ulcers are closely related to immunity. Some patients show immunodeficiency, while others show autoimmune disorders. In addition, anemia, picky eating, indigestion, diarrhea, fever, excessive fatigue, work pressure, changes in menstrual cycle, etc. are also inducing factors. As one or more factors become active, alternating, and overlapping, the body's immunity declines and immune function becomes disordered, resulting in frequent attacks of oral ulcers.

3. Tumor related

In summer, many people will be troubled by oral ulcers. For this common disease, many people associate it with getting angry and hot. However, they do not know that oral ulcers have many causes and may also be a manifestation of malignant tumors.

4. Oral ulcers

It occurs all year round, but patients are particularly common in summer. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, poor mood, sleep and diet are all common factors that cause oral ulcers. The weather is hot in the summer, and people tend to be irritable and excited, which leads to poor appetite and sleep problems, with people either unable to fall asleep or waking up easily. These body disorders can easily trigger oral ulcers, so oral ulcers occur most frequently in the summer.

Experts remind that many people have an illusion that oral ulcers are a kind of inflammatory disease. It doesn’t matter whether you go to the hospital or not. Just take some anti-inflammatory drugs and it will get better naturally. However, among the many types of oral ulcers, a few are not recurrent oral ulcers, including tuberculous ulcers, syphilitic ulcers, etc., and they will not heal on their own. Some oral ulcers may even be early manifestations of certain malignant tumors such as tongue cancer, gum cancer, and buccal mucosal cancer. If this type of ulcer is ignored or treated as inflammation based on one's own "experience", it will inevitably delay the disease and accelerate its spread, with disastrous consequences.
