Tongue and dehydration
Common Questions and Answers about Tongue and dehydration
tongue
I have a white tongue, it is not outrageous like the google image pictures of thrush, but its the middle part of my tongue, and it goes all the way down the back of it, and it is white and fury. I can scrape it off, and there is no bleeding afterwards. It is just like this white fur is growing off my tongue. I have been really thirsty lately because in my dorm I don't drink a lot of water, so maybe dehydration is a reason, but I also am coughing up flem. Any idea what this is?
Yeast is treatable (oral thrush) and you should see your doctor in case you need medication to treat it. What is much more commonly associated with white coated tongue is poor oral hygiene. Smoking, alcohol use, what you eat and dehydration also can lead to it. Here's a full list. https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/white-tongue#causes. See your doctor if you think it is yeast.
My tongue has a coating of white on it, not sure what it is. Your mouth is dry and sticky probably from dehydration. I have also gotten white crystals around my mouth from too much salt in diet and dehydration.
STIs do not affect the tongue. Even if they did it would take about 2 days before symptoms.
My 23 yr old son has an orange tongue as well lately. His tongue first turned white and bumpy during a bad sore throat that lasted 3 days. Then his tongue turned yellow-now it's full blown orange. It doesn't hurt. I have noticed a common theme of the orange tongue in previous posts by people having a sore throat. He also uses Crest Pro Health mouthwash, but has stopped in the last 2 days using it. He doesn't use a teeth whitening toothpaste.
My main problem is that I have something like tongue ulcers, white and dry tongue in the mornings. Like white lines most in the tip of my tongue, and they are worse in the mornings.
So I got a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with Pylori. They gave me Omez + amox + clarithromycin for 10 days...
So my "mouth problems" symptoms went away while I was taking clarithromycin for pylori but after I ended my treatment for they came back! Thats it.
but there was a tragic death in the family and I had been drinking not eating or sleeping for over a week. the white tongue could have developed from beer (other spirits ) and dehydration from the beating my body took. I weighted myself and my bodyweight was down 15 lbs. so this may have opened the door for the white issue. anyway tested at 12 weeks ( to the day) july 23 was the date of possible infection. test was on October 16. neg result.
Still have that issue a little bit 3 days later but has died down a little after taking some meds. I have a little abdominal pain and today my tongue was a little white and green with bumps on the back.
The doctor called and said my results were negative. Could excessive drinking and dehydration cause any of this? If not what else could it be?

However please do consult your doctor regarding this as it is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage without examining your tongue. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
For the past few months I have been dealing with a thin, yellow coating on my tongue. It begins in front of the circumvallate papilla and continues forward on the top-sides of the tongue (but not the actual sides of the tongue nor the middle of it either). Whenever I brush my teeth and tongue, it comes off easily with no pain nor bleeding. I hardly ever consume foods with yellow dyes in them.
The part of my neck that severly hurts to touch is my thyroid gland. And I now have a white, hairy tongue that bleeds when I try to scrape it and have large red bumps at the back of my tongue.
I don't know any reason other than HIV that my tongue would be hairy, white and bleeding. Does anyone else? Could stress cause this? I'm assuming no. It actually looks worse than any pictures on the internet.
Try taking some iron supplements and multivitamins for some days and see if the symptoms persist. Dehydration is also a contributing factor. So drink plenty of water and see.
If you have a post nasal drip, then this too could give a feeling of dryness at the back of the tongue. Try steam inhalation and see.
Hope this helps. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined if the symptoms persist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
On the other hand, the appearance of a white coating may be attributed to a variety of issues caused by inflammation of the papillae on the surface of the tongue and may be due to debris, bacteria and dead cells getting lodged between the papillae. Other causes include dehydration, dry mouth, excessive alcohol use, fever and even smoking. For proper evaluation, have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination and blood test will also help.
Symptoms did not go away and progessed the beginning of November into severe pain in my mouth, a feeling of severe swelling under the front and back of the tongue (although still no swelling actually seen), extreme pain in the jaw that was relieved by heat, and swelling in the nasopharynx. Bloodwork at this time showed high white count (left shift), high IgE and high eosinophil.
People who have the condition known as geographic tongue are definitely more likely to experience a white tongue. Geographic tongue simply means a tongue that has lots of grooves and fissures in it, and these grooves and fissures make an excellent breeding ground for the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath and a white tongue. The way around this problem is simply making sure that your tongue is kept as clean as possible. However, not all tongue cleaning is created equal....
I had a white bump on my tongue ... went to an ENT and he removed it. Said it was benign - eat drink and be merry. Well, since I also have depression and anxiety, 2 weeks after my doctor put me on Zoloft. I experienced really bad 'dry tongue'. I felt worse. I thought it was a reaction to the Zoloft, so I stopped taking it. Now my tongue gets very dry in the morning. I use Biotine, but it only helps a little while.
