Red tongue: symptoms, causes and treatment red tongue
-
Do you have a red tongue? The normal color of the human tongue is pink to red in color. In some people, the tongue is usually more red in color than others, but this does not necessarily indicate a discoloration of the tongue. A bright red or bright red tongue color is a sign of an underlying condition. Maybe you have a vitamin B deficiency. A red tongue can also indicate a burn of the tongue because you have eaten soup that is too hot, for example. In young children, a bright red tongue or strawberry tongue can be an indication of an infectious disease such as scarlet fever or Kawasaki disease, a fairly rare disease that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. If only the tip of your tongue is colored bright red, you may have a heart or circulation disorder. Purple-red color of the tongue may indicate lung disease.
