tongue

Avatar m tn ve seen a pathologist, infectous disease dr and ent. They are ruled out thrush and infectous disease. My symptoms are dry mouth, coated tongue , inflamed taste buds , chemical taste in mouth, sporadic tight throat, and I taste blood and my whole mouth just feels awful. I doubt y'all will know what it is but any advice? I attached a picture below. I'm a 24 year old male with no known health issues and am on no meds.
Avatar m tn But my nose always feels stopped up, and last few days my tongue has small bumps on it and if I roll my tongue it appears cracked. Is this a sign of oral thrush, does a negative hiv test is 2016 and 2017 after possible exposure in summer and winter of 2012 considered conclusive. My tongue at times looked white, but after bushing it looks pink, and right now is pink. Would the while permanently stay of it was thrush from hiv? Or were my results conclusive?
Avatar n tn The first thing I would do is seek an evaluation and exam by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or dentist that specializes in oral medicine. You may also consider changing your toothpaste and mouthwash as well as keeping a diary of all the food and other products you put in your mouth. You may be able to identify to source this way.
Avatar n tn hello, I have this white fungus like stuff on both sides and bottom (underside) of the tongue. It is not thick and does not go away when brushing. It looks a bit like Oral Hairy Leukoplakia (OHL) but i'm not sure. Does anyone know of tongue problems that are more similar/exactly similar in appearance to OHL and is often confused with OHL ? Also do u think an ENT specialist will be able to diagnose the cause for my problem ? any help will be great.
Avatar n tn Their is no question that there is a direct link between smoking and periodontal (gum) disease and smoking. Numerous studies have indicated such. Also oral cancer has been directly to smoking and other tobacco products in the mouth.I would suggest that you see your dentist or an oral surgeon.
Avatar m tn neither said it is leukoplakia, oral lichen planus. how can it be oral trush if I did an oral swab and it was negative? I will also do a KOH test tomorrow. if this one is also negative than it is definitely NOT trush, yeast candida? You can look at my recent tongue pics on my profile.
Avatar n tn But after 2 months after that night I got white furry coat on my tongue and bad smell after drinking milk products and sweeties. And it is lasting till today. And my wife also noticed white furry coat on her tongue. I am very depressed and I think she was infected from me. Please, help me, can HIV express test's result be reliable after 1 year and 2 months? Thank you for help.
Avatar m tn I caught some kind of disease on my tongue from her. At first it looked like Oral Thrush so I was treated for that. Oral Thrush was cured. However my tongue is still white and I have very dry mouth. Does anyone else have this problem?
Avatar m tn Then I had oral sex (sucked the vagina hard), after the episode I realised the cut on my tongue and got scared . I had protected vaginal sex also. (which I know is safe) Pratcically what is the probability of transmitting HIV after the oral episode nad the tongue cut? I am really worried and scared? Should I test myself? Please help?
Avatar f tn Hi,I'm 15 and a year I noticed bumps at the back of my tongue. I never kiss a girl before or had sex. I also have red bumps around my head of my penis. Is it STDs or any other harmful Disease.
Avatar m tn Hello Please tell me If i had made oral sex on a girl with some tongue penetration is the risk of an std (if any) low. What are the odds of oral risks? What about if girl makes the sex?
Avatar m tn Next week specialist in NYC, an ENT oral surgeon and a pathology dentist and then I am going to go to an acupuncturist. I am very happy the scary teats are coming up negative but this is very scary and everyday I pray it will not get worse. How is your quest going? All my thyroid tests are in normal levels and I am on 50mcg of synthroid. Mayo clinic is last if nothing else comes up.
Avatar f tn It could also be Leukoplakia, which is a condition where patches of keratosis appear as adherent white patches on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and throat. It is a potentially pre-cancerous disease of the mouth and throat. A biopsy may help to diagnose this condition. The cause of leukoplakia is unknown, but tobacco, whether smoked, dipped or chewed, is considered to be the main culprit in its development. Treatment is with laser or cryotherapy.
Avatar n tn It is located about 1 inch from the tip on the left side. Looks kind of like a taste bud...is flat, same color as the tongue, and does not hurt. Round, about 1/16" in diameter. I also have another one further back that is smaller that is kind of like a flap that is not painless. How do I know if these could be cancerous or not? Should I have them looked at or are they normal. The larger one has been on my tongue at least a month that I know about. Never has bothered me.
Avatar n tn Seeing an oral pathologist or oral surgeon is advised.
Avatar f tn I had oral sex and after one week i am felt like its burnt on the tip of my tongue and its continuo until now for about week . Is there anyone had this before ? Is it hiv ?
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?
Avatar m tn I was starting to feel better about the situation and wrote off my tired feeling to anxiety, but I woke up this morning with Oral Thrush. It coats the entire surface of my tongue and appears to have grooves in the middle. I tried scraping it with dental floss but it does not move. It actually looked like the white part was standing out on the tongue after I ran the floss across it. I found a canker sore in the top outside gum next to my lip but no other sores.
Avatar n tn I had an oral sex exposure a little over 6 weeks ago (I am male and I gave oral to a women - we also had condom protected vaginal sex). I did not notice any sores in the genital area at the time. 2-3 days post the exposure I developed what an infectious disease doc said were white ulcers on my tonsils. My glands in the neck became swallon over the course of the week and then I developed a sore throat that lasted for 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn hi I a have a couple questions, does genital hsv1 cause red bumps on area between ball sack and butt crack and would they last for 2 months no pain other than wipeing ? ive had oral for over 20 yrs hardly ever get on lips I received oral from female that gets cold sores on lips at the time there was no sores on her lips that I could see. I have had blood test done 8 months after the oral sex I had gotten herpe select 1 and 2 and h1 was 5.
Avatar n tn From what I have read these symptoms can result from tongue thrusting and sucking my tongue sides and cheeks... since these ridges are always at their worst when i wake up and seem to get better throughout the day I may be doing this while I sleep or am not thinking about it...I have an appointment w/ my dentist on January 20... Hopefully he can resolve these issues then... Honestly,though I am still wondering about my questions as I have not been able to find any answers on the Internet...
Avatar m tn After having oral sex (just oral for a short time )with a tran sexual three days ago, I sensed that my lips get dry ,one they after i got a mild burning (like mild chilli) in my mouth, mainly noticeable on my top of tongue, gradually my lips and top of the tongue get better but the middle of tongue and my throat start mildly burning .it seems that it go forward little by little !
Avatar m tn I did fingering in her vagina and later she licked it and after that she performed oral sex on me which was unprotected. Is the vaginal fluid can cause any harm in this case? I sucked her nipples also. This post I am writing at 14th day from exposure. Today I dont have any fever but I keep checking it after almost an hour or two. I dont have any soar throat, my heat bump on tongue is healing now.
215461 tn?1331862765 For 8 months they treated me with all kinds of medication to help with the burning tongue, mouth. My tongue was white as well. I did not get it bad enough to go to the ER, but my mouth and tongue were on fire. I was literally suck in cold air non-stop. I know they kept telling me it was oral thrush. I think I developed it after taking an antibiotic for an infection. For me it turns out I had chronic sialendititis of the submandibular gland with two enlarged lymph nodes.
Avatar n tn My question is that although no flu like symptoms I did recently start to have sinus congestion and like sinusitis then a very mild sore throat or throat irritation like an itchy sensation and drying my throat in the back with a swollen tongue. took benedryl and it slowed down a lot. No thrush or anything. This would give me a massive headache but when I took my temp it was at the highest 98.9 but a steady 98.6 to 98.7.
Avatar m tn hi, i went to the oral surgeon today and his observation was that i have developed a fissured tongue even though i had no history or past observations of it. he examined my mouth and tongue and found nothing else. i also asked him about association of fissured tongue with HIV especially in early stage of the disesae. he said that in absence of other symptoms especially pain in fissures it is hard to see that association and he had not seen any such case in his life.
