Avatar n tn Why is my tongue so sore? I have dry mouth from taking prescriptions and my tongue over a period of time has become very sore and sensitive to salt or pepper or spicy food.
1303942 tn?1273060781 on sunday morning i woke up to a sore throat and swollen gums around the front of my bottom teeth, my tounge is also sore and its sore underneath my tongue, i had a look this morning in the mirror and i noticed tiny white spots on the tip of my tongue, but my tongue just feels weird, i cant really describe it, but it hurts, i have been to the doctors but he didn't seem to know what it was so he prescribed me antibiotics, vk penacillian.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else having any issues with their mouth? My tongue is sore and it appears to have tiny sores on the sides of it. I also have a metallic numb feeling\taste. I know it sounds weird but its the best description I can give. It is starting to hurt at times when I am eating.
Avatar f tn Hello about a month or so ago i had performed unprotected oral sex on two different women. A week or twp later my gums became really sensitive and sore as well as my inner lip. There also seems to be soreness on my tongue that comes for a day and then goes away but comes back sometimes. The gums between my front two teeth are the most sensitive. Could this be herpes? It hasn't gone away yet but ive noticed no outbreak externally.
Avatar m tn About two months ago, I had gone out on a date with a girl that I've met on the internet. I had known her for a long time, about 2 years, and she has a really shady history. I know she's done drugs, like E and etc. and has been with many guys. When I asked her, she told me she had gotten herself tested, but it seems like she's lied. The reason why I'm so worried, is the fact that we made out, about 3 times on the date, but the time spent kissing her was really short.
Avatar f tn I have had a problem with very sore gums that bleed when brushed, blisters on gums sometimes and on back of tongue and small red bumps on back of tongue as well. The bumps and blisters on my tongue have not went away but do not bother me anymore but my gums are still very sore and bleed. This has lasted for about 3 months and I had swollen lymoh nodes in my neck for a few weeks in the beggining but that went away.
Avatar n tn Chills, mild fever that came and went; still bottom gums inflamed and now spreading to upper gums. SORE THROAT developed quickly. Days 4-5: Noticed white bumps on inner bottom lip and then most recently 2-3 tiny painful whit bumps on tip of tongue. STILL inflamed gums, top and bottom. STILL sore throat. What do I have? I've been told by doc I have mild pharyngitis, but this was on day 2 so he didn't see any white bumps in mouth.
Avatar m tn m still having difficulties eating because of 1.) my gums, tongue and lips are still getting more swollen and more sore-filled 2.) i still have a somewhat uneasy stomach accompanied with a loss of appetite...
Avatar f tn ve got about 5 sores on my bottom right side gums and down by my tongue. In addition, my cheek is swollen and sore, and my teeth on that side are sore when I try to bite. I haven't had the swollen, sore cheek or sore teeth with canker sores before. Should I see my dentist again?
Avatar f tn It started with a broken tooth that got sore, then the gums, then my cheeks and tongue swelled up nd inside of mt lips, I developed a white sore on the end of my tongue and it split open from top to underneath. Really bad headaches nd now my throat is sore and my lungs are tight. I gargle and brush with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, which keeps it somewhat under control. What do you thinK? O, and I am extremely fatigued. I almost forgot to mention that I have red spots on my palate.
Avatar m tn Hi, I don't get tongue spasms, but I do get very sore gums and teeth. But I have been told this can be due to fluctuating female hormones too as I am in the menopause also. Peggy64 is also right, you can get an enlarged tongue if you're hypothyroid, sometimes it's possible to see indentations along the edges of your tongue where your teeth dig into it because it's enlarged.
Avatar f tn after that i have noticed my these white spots slimy looking spots at the back of my throat and cheeks my gums have also been sore and bleeding. my tongue is also very white and also had big red spots on my tongue but that was last years almost a year before this guy. It only lasted for like a few days and went away. i went to a doctor that said it was nothing serious and gave me meds almost like a sweet to suck on that dissolve in my mouth.
Avatar n tn I tried prodding the right base of the mouth and tongue with a cotton bud and the pain is nowhere to be found. I can only feel it when I move my tongue, but when I press the base of the tongue it does not hurt at all.
Avatar n tn Additionally, I developed a white lesion on the side of my tongue and the NP at school and my primary physician have called geographic tongue. But my tongue doesn't "change" like it should, from what I've read. Could it really be a coincidence that my aphthous ulcer, my geographic tongue, and my gum bumps all decided to show up at the same time? Could they be connected to my anxiety?
Avatar f tn Tongue tingling is a fairly common symtom in MS. I've had that for 2 1/2 years straight, and in the beginning I also had slight numbness on the left side of gums and lips. These are paresthesias (abnormal sensations), as there is nothing structurally or functionally wrong. Tongue pain falls into the same category, though it sounds a lot worse. You might get some relief from a medication for neuropathic pain such as Neurontin or Lyrica.
Avatar n tn please help i have these 4-5 red lumps at the back of my touunge and they are a bit sore and look horrible, i have recently performed oral sex on my boyfriend about a few weeks ago however i have done it before and havent had a problem i was pretty sick 2 days ago with the flu and vommitted then i noticed today the lumps... could it be from throwing up or should i be worried it could be worse?
Avatar f tn Seems unlikely although it is odd that the burning sensation occurs only after a dental cleaning and not anything else. Have you asked your dentist at all? Perhaps you're allergic to something that is used during dental cleanings? Does your symptoms appear at any other time?
Avatar m tn They start and take about 10-15 days to heal and typically occur in same areas, back of tongue and tip of tongue. My tongue also feels hot and burns. My dr said she was pretty sure it was herpes virus that caused my cold sore, so i guess spread to the tongue. I did a swab and it came back normal but my dr said thats bc the sores had been there for several days and the swab would need to be done in the first 48hrs. Problem is, in the first two days theres nothing really there.
Avatar n tn Could swelling like this be due to a primary hsv infection? I have no fever and my gums are not sore expect for a hard white bump I found infront of my gums under a tooth which I have been poking at a lot and the rest of my gums seem farely normal. maybe slightly swollen but not much. no ulcers or blisters and gums don't seem to be bleeding from flossing.
Avatar m tn I would have a doctor take a look at this if its not healing. I have had the white coating on my tongue and had to take antibiotics and suck on pills the doctor gave me to get rid of it. They called it THRUSH.
Avatar f tn i use peroxide to brush my teeth because i have sores that come and go on the right side of my mouth to the gums and underneath and along side my tongue on the right side. i had a dentist tell me this was more than likely a vitamin deficiency of some sort but after all this time i tend to think it is possibly an acid surplus. i have been on celebrex for joint pain, effexor for a spastic colon, and the only timing i can relate all of this to is the death of my mother at Christmas 2008.
Avatar n tn I have a lump that started under my tongue a couple of weeks ago. After about 5 days it was red and sore when I tried to eat. Someone told me to suck on lemon slices (don't laugh). I tried this and the next day it was already alot smaller. After another day of sucking on lemon slices it was almost completely gone. A week and a half later it has appreared again. Sucking on the lemon slices again, and it is growing alot smaller. What in the world can this be?
Avatar n tn Well it is June 2006 and the red spots are still there with petachiae and know the outer part of my gums (gingivae) are red. My mouth does not hurt, it just feels raw where the redness is, some metallic taste, I get geographic tongue easily now. Are there any suggestions as to what this is?
440728 tn?1234645302 Does anybody suffer with an awful taste, and burning sore mouth & gums as a result of thyroid problems on certain days, but not maybe all the time? Only I keep getting it but I'm newly diagnosed with thyroid disease, so I'm not sure if it's related, I think it must be because I never got it before this. I'm also on HRT, which could be causing it, but I doubt it because I've been on it for years with no problems.
Avatar m tn Oh I'm sorry mamo i didn't make it so clear, they are just sore. Although they are still sore today, and it's a bother because it's hard to talk and eat sometimes. But what i find strange is it goes away for a little when i massage it but it comes back in 10 minutes.
Avatar n tn The symptoms began to subside, I resumed the omerprazole and the swollen tongue, red gums came back with a vengeance. Does this sound like an allergic reaction? Could I be experiencing chemical burn from acid reflux. I am desperate! Could this be caused by taking the omerprazole with food instead of an empty stomach?
