2. Causes of Glossitis
Allergic reactions to irritants such as medication or a particular food can cause this condition. Common triggers include toothpaste and medications prescribed to treat raised blood pressure. Immune system conditions can also cause glossitis, as can the herpes simplex virus, which causes blistering around the mouth and can also affect the tongue. Trauma to the tongue, such as a cut or burn, or irritation caused by orthodontic braces, can also lead to it.
