Alcohol and tobacco use are the strongest risk factors for oral cancers, including those of the tongue. Oral cancers are more common in men than in women and typically occur after the age of 40. Each year, about 37,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with some type of oral cancer (Source: ACS).
Your tongue can also swell and burn due to certain types of anemia, such as seen with iron deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency. The condition may also be as a result of other factors, such as general lifestyle, diet, allergies and other environmental factors. It might also be as a result of ingesting hot foods or drinking overly hot drinks as this can physically burn the tongue and cause long-lasting irritation.
