During the spread of the new coronavirus on our planet, scientists have already received a lot of information about the symptoms that may appear when the human body is infected with this pathogen, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net According to scientists who published the results of the study on the pages of The British Journal of Dermatology, another of the fairly common symptoms of infection with a new coronavirus may be the presence of bumps on the tongue..

The results of observations showed that almost a quarter of patients with COVID-19 presented, in addition to already known symptoms, complaints about the appearance of problems in the oral cavity..

The most common of these were complaints about the presence of bumps, inflammation and swelling in the tongue..

According to scientists, this may be due to the presence of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which thus reacts to the appearance of a virus in the human body.. And since the largest amount of this receptor is located precisely in the region of the tongue, this explains the appearance of these painful symptoms in the oral cavity..
