Very few of the patients with Corona 19 had symptoms of severe tongue swelling, and doctors began to investigate the cause.
According to Dr. James Melville of the University of Texas Dentistry and University of Texas, a total of 9 patients with ``macroglossia'' in the U.S. with swelling of the tongue so that they cannot speak or eat were reported in the U.S., of which 7 were recently hospitalized for Corona 19 After doing so, symptoms appeared, reported by Houston, Texas, local broadcaster'KHOU11'.
The remaining 2 out of 9 developed heavy snowfall after stroke.
Dr. Melvin said, "Inflammatory cells form in the tongue tissues of patients who survived Corona 19. This means that there is a factor in the corona 19 virus that makes it more likely to appear in certain people."
Eight out of 9 people with heavy snowfall were black.
Dr. Melvin said that he is conducting a study to prepare preventive measures by analyzing patients who developed heavy snowfall after COVID-19 infection.
