Hello, I have been having some issues with my tongue and gums lately. When I awake in the morning the tip of my tongue is sore then goes away then the sides of the tongue are red and sore now today all of a sudden the upper left gum and gums behind bottom teeth became red, when I rub my tongue across I can feel something and it s red, fine and rashy looking, doesn t hurt but naggy. What could this be?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness in the tongue and the gums can be because of herpetic gingivostoamatitis. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (Anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food. Consume a lot of liquid. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
