Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My dad had jaundice last month and got cured after medication. This week, he took a blood test, and all was normal except for his sugar level. He already has sugar problems and is taking medication. He has got small lumps on his tongue that are painful and growing big. He also got a fever yesterday and today. Is he having any problem with jaundice, or are lumps formed because of sugar?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern. I am not sure what you mean by lumps on the tongue. Are you talking about painful mouth ulcers or small painful eruptions on the tongue? If yes, it could be due to dehydration or vitamin B deficiency. In that case, I recommend that he should drink lots of water to keep himself hydrated. He can also take B-complex vitamins once a day for two weeks. He should also avoid spicy food and tea/coffee till he feels better. If you think these are not mouth ulcers, please send some pictures of his lesions on the tongue. It will help us arrive at a better diagnosis. I hope that helps. Thank you and take care.
