I have been having an irregular tongue shape right from my childhood, I suppose. YEsterday morning, I started getting this itching sensation in the tongue, infact I feel my whole body is itchy, but that is just an illusion. My tongue itches, or as such irritates, and slowly my lips also start irritating me. For a while, then it is fine. It comes on and off every 15 20 minutes? What is this exactly? What should I do for help? I am from India.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint sudden itching or irritation of tongue followed by lips seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction, and it seems that you are continuously exposed to some unknown allergen leading to itching or irritation of tongue and lips. It can be due to things like any food or medicine, any lip cosmetic, or any environmental allergen. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and allergic tests like LAST test, Patch test, food challenge test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. On CE the allergen is diagnosed try TP prevent exposure to allergen to prevent the symptoms. You can take anti allergic like Levocetrizine or Ben Chat Doctor. . In case if there are recurring symptoms an Immunotherapy can be instilled to reduce the severity and frequency f allergic attack. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
