Over the past few days Ive noticed my tongue has a layer of white over it. I started brushing my tongue more thoroughly, I already use mouth wash ever day and floss, but I still notice it in the very back. Now I see two red swollen bumps on either side of of the back of my tongue where I cant reach the white layer. When I swallow I can feel that the back of my tongue is scratchy and dry. Im not a smoker and I never exceed the recommended drinks of alcohol per week (maybe once or twice a year at a wedding or special event if that). What could this be? Should I see a dentist or my MP?
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of oral thrush and burning sensation on the tongue which is actually a fungal infection which leads to formation of thick white layer in oral cavity and its surfaces and if remains constant it starts giving white layers. I would suggest you to rinse oral cavity properly 2 times a day with HY Chat Doctor.  Avoid sharp, hot and spicy foods. Take Amphoteric B and maintain complete oral hygiene. You should visit oral pathologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and start treatment after prescription. Go for biopsy of lesions if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid stress and take Probiotics like Yogurt in diet. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
