It seems that we still have a lot to see on the front of the coronavirus, as more and more information about side effects comes to light. This is exactly what happened in the case of patients in the US, who had a serious and dangerous side effect.
Dr. James Melville, of the University of Texas Health Science Center at the School of Dentistry in Houston (UTHealth), said last week that there are nine documented cases of λω macrolinguistics in patients with COVID-19 in the United States! And the percentage may be extremely small, these are patients that are measured on the fingers, but it needs monitoring and attention.
These nine patients developed such swollen tongues that their tongues hung out of their mouths and they could neither breathe through their mouths nor eat, drink water and talk!
Although it is not yet clear what the relationship is between the coronavirus and this condition, Melville said inflammatory cells had been detected in the patients’ tongues.
One of the patients treated by Melville was Anthony Jones, from Lake City, Florida.
Jones survived COVID-19 after a month in hospital, but his tongue remained swollen.
“The doctor told him he could have surgery, but he could not guarantee Anthony would never eat or talk again,” his mother, Mary Ann Jones, told UTHealth News.
A doctor told the family that the condition was called macrolanguage and Mary Ann Jones began searching the internet for more information. He found a study published by Melville and came in contact with the hope that he could help them.
Melville told UTHealth News that Jones’s macro-language was described as huge.
“It’s psychologically depressing because it’s so weird. Patients should eat with a tube and have a permanent tracheostomy while there is a risk of infection. “The tongue dries completely, so you have to wrap it to retain moisture, so that it does not crack and start bleeding,” he said.
