Tongue disorders
Tongue problems include pain, swelling, or a change in how the tongue looks. The tongue is mainly composed of muscles. It is covered with a mucous membrane. Small bumps (papillae) cover the upper surface of the tongue. Between the papillae are the taste buds, which allow you to taste. The tongue moves food to help you chew and swallow. The tongue also helps you form words.
