4. Symptoms
Symptoms depend on the cause and severity of the inflammation. The most common symptom is a swollen tongue that is tender or painful. There may be visible changes in the tongue's color. People with more severe glossitis may find it difficult to chew and swallow food, and the swelling may cause changes in the person's voice or an inability to speak. There may be fewer papillae visible on the surface of the tongue.
