The main symptoms of glossitis include pain, redness, swelling, and heat in the tongue, with pain being particularly prominent. Glossitis may also present with oral ulcers, which are primarily characterized by pain. Additionally, patients may experience dry mouth, a dry tongue, a bitter taste, and other related symptoms. If such conditions occur, it is important to promptly visit the dental department of a正规 hospital and consult a professional dentist for a thorough examination.
