Common Questions and Answers about Tongue and mouth disorders

tongue

Avatar m tn I have noticed that I am waking in the middle of the night and morning with a mouth that is so dry I cannot swallow...teeth and tongue really dry. I am definitely still mouth breathing, even with the CPAP. I also noticed over the last week that my tongue is yellowish (related?). I wake and really do not feel refreshed, like the CPAP is not really helping. I also have acid reflux, which compounds the problems. What can I do? Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Try biotene mouth spray or gel to moisten your mouth.

Avatar n tn ve read that a lot of the conditions such as furry tongue, geographic tongue, and coated tongue are fairly common and usually harmless?
Avatar m tn mine is from dry mouth caused by inhalers and meds i take for COPD. i bought a tongue brush and it seems to work ok. use a mouth wash for dry mouth there are many out there. don't eat anything after you brush your teeth at night and drink plenty of water, it will help wash away anything on your tongue. as for the color of the build up it's probably the last thing you ate or drank coke or pepsi will leave a brown stain etc.
Avatar f tn I will go to the GP and have this checked out as soon as possible but from looking at the pictures I have attached, what are the odd's that it could be cancer? I know that you cannot give a full diagnosis without an actual examination. By the way, I also can swallow fine, eat fine, there is no tongue pain and I don't have a sore throat and I have no red patches on my tongue.
Avatar n tn Along with the Centers for Disease Control website, is one of the two or three medical websites with the most valid and useful information. Google Mayo Clinic and geographic tongue, and please stop worrying. In the meantime, consider changing toothpastes for sure.
Avatar f tn But this did help me and i had a smell coming from my mouth and nose. And please please please, try and stay away from dairy and meat. it makes it worse. the dairy creates this thick coat on the back of the tongue. the meat stays in your stomach too long and starts to decay and mouth is directly connected to the colon and anus. Try it and please let me know!
Avatar m tn not sure if it is tongue or mouth. I have tried to see behind the tongue, but it is very difficult, seems to be nothing there, but has been occuring on and off for a month. I also have a little bit of a metalic taste in my mouth. but not all the time.. any ideas?
Avatar m tn Dry mouth could occur with obstructive sleep apnea, wherein during sleep there is an obstruction to air flow due to laxity of the throat muscles during sleep and this could cause restlessness and dryness of mouth. It can also occur due to salivary gland disorders like Sjogren's syndrome. Discuss these options with your doctor when you happen to meet him next time. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Sometimes it could be due to disorders like Pemphigus. It is a group of rare skin disorders that cause blisters of your skin or mucous membranes, such as in your mouth or on your genitals. It is diagnosed by Nikolsky sign, biopsy and blood tests. Treatment is with steroids. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I have been to my dentist and an oral surgeon for evaluation and he looked at my mouth through a scope which went through my nose and did teeth x rays and an MRI scan and says everything looks fine:This is his report: "No abnormality seen in the region of the right tonsil. Two small soft tissue nodules approx. 5mms in diameter are seen in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx. This may represent residual adenoidal tissue although other causes could not entirely be excluded.
11814884 tn?1424233874 I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. My tongue and mouth were extremely sore and felt burned for a week after I started taking Flagyll...the third of four antibiotics that have been phased into my treatment. I do think it relates to yeast unfortunately. I have been lucky enough to not experience a 'typical' yeast infection during my 4 months of treatment but I experienced the same soreness and burning vaginally a couple weeks after my mouth stopped burning.
Avatar f tn the inside of my mouth and especially my tongue burn with everything i put into my mouth. gum, ice cream, salsas, chips, hamburger, it doesn't matter, unless it's a cold pudding or cool drink, it burns like wild fire. it has gone on for about two years now and i assumed it was a dental problem so the only doctors i have gone to as of this date are dental hygienests. i in fact have an appoint at a college of dentisty in iowa city next month.
Avatar m tn Did the doctor say it could be burning tongue syndrome? Anyone can get mouth sores so you might be connecting some unrelated events to the tingling.
577132 tn?1314266526 Glossitis is inflammation or infection of the tongue. It causes the tongue to swell and change color. Finger-like projections on the surface of the tongue (papillae) may be lost, causing the tongue to appear smooth. Tongue color changes (usually dark "beefy" red). Some Causes: Poor hydration and low saliva in the mouth may allow bacteria to grow more readily. Disorders such as iron deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia and other B-vitamin deficiencies.
Avatar m tn I checked my sinuses yesterday and the seem really inflammed and red and my nose doesnt feel stuffy and isnt causing much mucus. The mucus that does eventually come out is always clear and very very sticky. Whats wrong with me? And are sinuses causing my dry mouth?
Avatar n tn It has been over 2 weeks now and there are no signs of healing. The tongue feels the same though the rest of the mouth is not that bad like it was before. I haven't seen a doctor since I thought I caused trauma with scraping the tongue too much but I am wondering how I could have used so much pressure on my tip to cause this reaction. I don't have any discomfort when eating or swallowing at all that is why I haven't seen a doctor.
Avatar f tn Right now as I have tardive I see a psychiatrist and a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and they consult with each other about what's happening with me. However common causes are the first to rule out and temporary movement disorders occur regularly and are very treatable (and reversible).
974371 tn?1424653129 Again, as the day progressed, my dry mouth, uncomfortable tongue and that gluey feeling was getting worse and worse. Add to that I now seem to be having problems with thick mucus I cannot blow out my nose or expectorate and am back to on going hacking and clearing my throat. Add to that feeling of flushing and generally feeling unwell. Latest ENT doc ordered yet another sinus CT scan and gave me aLydocaine rinse and am supposed to swallow it!
Avatar n tn I have noticed while sleeping that I feel like my tongue is rolling back in my mouth and my teeth grinding, almost as if Im having a seizure. While this is happening Im also dreaming. Not sure if this is my dreams or if Im having a seizure. I am 29 yrs old and otherwise healthy. I suffer from OCD and severe Depression. I took Anafranil when I was 16 and got a (chicken pox) like rash, so my doctor stopped the meds. I only started up on it again because it was extremely helpful to me back then.
Avatar m tn During the day, I breathe alot through my mouth, and at night, I know I breathe almost exclusively this way. I always wake up with a dry mouth and sometimes, a sore throat which subsides later in the day. A month ago I brushed my tongue for the 1st time. A day or so later I noticed what looked like some bumps in the middle of my tongue. Concerned, I've bought a tounge brush and have been brushing once to five times a week.
Avatar f tn Have noticed several times in the last two months when I wake and particularly if I have to speak on the phone soon after waking, that my tongue seems heavy and partially paralysed, which makes speaking quite laboured and slow. It is not the vocal cords but very definitely the tongue from which this speech issue is emanating. I am wondering if this may be a subtle advancement of past and ongoing symptoms/diagnoses! Read on!
Avatar f tn Mouth(sores(painful) and tongue sores(painless),dry eyes that burn, are red, feel dry and irritated and hurt a lot.They feel like something's in them and my eyes are always tired/worn out feeling like they've been overused, but they haven't been.
