Pain in the tongue

Pain in the tongue is a sharp or burning sensation that can range from mild to severe. It can develop gradually or suddenly, and may be localized to one area or spread across the entire tongue. It can be accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling, redness, and a metallic taste. Pain in the tongue can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, infection, allergies, or irritation from acidic or spicy foods. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
