What Causes Discolored Tongue And Pain While Touching The Roof Of The Mouth?
Hi, When i woke up this morning my tongue felt like i drank boiling water. it's really sore and feels like i burnt it. It doesn't hurt when i eat or anything but it hurts whenever it touches the roof of my mouth. I checked the mirror and my mouth is white than usual. It's pink around the edges and whiter in the center. Is this anything serious?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
As per your query white discolouration of the tongue along with red margins and also pain on touching the roof of mouth all see to be due to fungal infection in mouth known as Oral Thrush..
It is a fungal infection of Oral cavity that leads to white growth on tongue and soreness and inflammation inside mouth..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like microscopy of scraing from tongue can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
In case if Thrush you can be advised antifungal medication like Nystatin mouthwash, Clotrimazole lozenges and taking plenty of Probiotics like Yogurt and garlic... For soreness gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Hope this helps..
