It’s been almost three years since the Corona pandemic. During this time we have come to know a lot about this virus. However, there are still many such things about which a lot remains to be known. As far as the symptoms of the disease are concerned, some of the common symptoms of corona virus infection include fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste and smell, etc. However, as the virus changed its form with the increase in vaccination, studies have revealed that there are other symptoms of corona virus, which people are facing. Some of these symptoms are quite unusual and involve our mouth, teeth and tongue. Let us know about them-
How does the corona virus affect the health of our teeth?
Coronavirus enters our blood through receptors called ACE2 and these receptors are also in our mouth, tongue and gums. Therefore, people who have poor oral health also have more ACE2 receptors. Research has also shown that people with poor dental problems can also be vulnerable to serious COVID-19 infection.
What are the symptoms of corona virus on tongue?
Corona virus is also known to affect oral health. Many patients infected with this have complained of blisters in the mouth, swelling on the tongue, while many have also complained of ulcers in the mouth. Such symptoms can cause discomfort while eating.

Experts say that the COVID tongue can be caused by the Korana virus. In this, the patient may feel a burning and swelling on the surface of the tongue. It can also happen due to heavy load of antibiotics.
Why are these symptoms less talked about?
These symptoms are mostly less discussed for two reasons. The first reason is that these symptoms are uncommon, that is, they are not reported in all patients. These symptoms are found in fewer patients, so there is less discussion on them. The second reason is that they are less severe than other symptoms of the virus.
However, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that Omicron symptoms, such as mild colds and flu, should not be ignored. The WHO has repeatedly warned that it may be less severe than the delta, but it is still not a mild disease.
