Get medical attention if you have swelling of the tongue that is closer to your breathing tract. A very swollen language would possibly imply a severe allergic reaction. This requires a rapid stop at the hospital.
Severe Covid requiring emergency care includes:
Research has shown that COVID can negatively affect immune system regulation and cause oral thrush. The fungus Candida may overgrow in your mouth if your immune system is weak.
COVID tongue may last as long as other symptoms. It can take 10-14 days to recover from COVID, but it depends on how severe your infection is.
You may not necessarily have COVID just because your tongue is bumpy or swollen. Your tongue may feel weird because of an allergic reaction, mouth-related skin condition, mouth injury, hormone changes, or nutrient deficiencies.
