Another possible addition to COVID-19 ‘s growing list of weird symptoms may be: “COVID tongue”.
While loss of flavor is a well-known symptom, a British researcher, Tim Spector OBE, which helps monitor the warning signs, says some patients have reported developing oral rashes or rashes on their tongues.
Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London and principal investigator of the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app, renamed it “COVID language”.
“COVID language” could be one of severalnon-classical symptoms“which tend to get worse, including skin scratches, and changes in the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, known as” COVID toes “.
“We have about four and a half million people who have given us their symptoms across three countries and we now have over 20 symptoms of COVID, so we are looking for rare symptoms that have not been noticed before,” said the Professor. Spector.
He describes the COVID tongue as when “pieces get out of it, called scallops and often also have a fur covering on the tongue, which seems to be related to other signs of COVID too, sometimes the COVID rash, but often occurs after the first few classic symptoms ”.
“Most doctors didn’t notice he didn’t think he was a relative, but now with the growing reports, it looks like he’s part of the this syndrome, “he said.
“And it looks like other conditions of the language that are affected by viruses, which is why it’s called a ‘geographical language’ because your language is like a map of the world because of the way in which you have pieces that are raised and some that have been lowered.
“The language of COVID is not yet common. Less than one in 100 people have reported the problem, but it could increase when people realize that it is linked.
“People have been sending me pictures of their language and now we are constantly asking for them in our app.
“It tells me that there are many different symptoms of COVID, especially in the first few days that the medical community did not recognize.
“And it’s really essential if something unusual happens, something you don’t expect, while COVID is so common in Europe people should think that this could be related, and take the appropriate steps. “
