Have you heard of glossitis? If not, it is a condition that leads to inflammation in the mouth and leaves your tongue swollen and inflamed. This condition is associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. As discussed, vitamin B12 deficiency results in megaloblastic anemia, which has also been associated with glossitis. While suffering from this condition, one may experience changes in the appearance of the tongue, which can be described as “beefy” or “fiery red and sore”.
It is important however to note that having any of the symptoms does not mean you necessarily have the condition, which is why getting yourself tested can help confirm the condition.
