3. Slight Burning Sensation or Discomfort: The Silent Alarm of MRG
Beyond the visual, MRG makes its presence felt subtly, through a mild burning sensation or discomfort. It’s not stark, nor is it constantly nagging. It’s there, occasionally reminding one of its existence, especially when triggered by certain spicy or acidic foods.
This sensation, while mild, can sometimes be persistent. Its exact cause is still debated, but it’s believed to arise from the changes in the tongue’s topography and the presence of Candida. The fungus might not just change the tongue’s appearance but also its sensation.
Interestingly, not everyone with MRG experiences this burning sensation. It’s an elusive symptom, showing up in some while staying conspicuously absent in others. It’s this unpredictable nature that makes it both intriguing and challenging to pin down. (3)
