Dr. Zhang Liwen
Migratory glossitis may not require specific treatment and generally has a good prognosis. For patients with factors such as anxiety, psychological counseling can be provided to alleviate their fears. Patients with geographic tongue should avoid consuming hot, spicy, acidic, or hard foods to minimize irritation. Oral vitamin B supplements may also be considered for treatment. Cases of geographic tongue without obvious symptoms may require no intervention.
