A study by La Paz and Primary Care reveals alterations in the tongue as a symptom of COVID19
The so-called COVID tongue consists of an increase in the size of the tongue and other lingual lesions such as depapilation in patches, that is, smoother areas of the tongue that are often associated with loss of taste. This symptom may be a sign of COVID-19, together with those already described as fever or cough, and may facilitate early detection of the infection.
