what is the prevention for glossitis???
Answers
PREVENTION:
Since the main problem is the inflammation of the tongue, it is important to reduce that inflammation in order to reduce the pain and discomfort as well. To achieve this, it is important first to avoid the irritants, particularly alcohol, cigarettes and spices, but besides this, it is important as well to make sure whether some type of allergy is or is not the cause of glossitis, because in such cases, antihistamines are very helpful and effective. If the condition is caused by some bacterial infection, then antibiotics will have to be used, but whichever the cause, it is important to maintain the hygiene of the mouth regularly and to have healthy eating habits (regular meals which include all the necessary nutrients for healthy functioning of the body).
The condition calls for medical attention when the person notices that the airways are blocked, when the problems are present even after a week, if problems with swallowing, chewing, talking and similar activities are persistent.
2. Avoid cigarette smoking and spicy foods.
3. Maintain good oral hygiene (well tooth brushing with flossing and regular checkups near dentist).
4.Drink plenty of water.
These are the precautions to be taken.Hope it helps!
