The tongue is painful, hot, and appears as a small white nodule, which is a sign of what disease?

Ask
Hello doctor! I had a sore tongue, first small white spots around the border, then spread to pain and heat, went to the doctor and the doctor said it was not a fungus nor a serious problem, it was just inflammation. Antibiotics for oral administration but no cure. I looked online and the situation was like the map tongue, but why am I so sore, burning and hot. Ask your doctor for advice on the condition "a painful, hot, and small white nodule is a sign of what disease?" Thank you doctor!

Hello! Question "What does a painful, hot, and small white nodule appear on the tongue indicate?" Your doctor will answer as follows:
Tongue with white spots that spread and have burning pain may be due to fungus, may be due to local bacteria of the oropharynx, may be due to viruses, sometimes as manifestations of autoimmune diseases. If the condition continues to spread, worsen, you should go back to the doctor so that the doctor can do more diagnostic tests.
You can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to get more advice from doctors. Best regards!
