Hi I believe I have thrush on my tongue and I have heard that gentian violet can cure it. I put some on my tongue but I am afraid I might have swallowed a little bit on accident. Will this hurt me? I am 5\"1 weight 112 lbs. I just had my wisdom teeth removed and tongue is causing severe pain and has white patches and swollen.
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have severe pain in tongue and have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth this white patches on tongue can be due to some reasons it might be due to Oral candidiasis, Geographic tongue, oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, decapitation of papillae on tongue, oral lichen plans, or median rhomboid glossies. For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for visual examination of tongue and rule of the cause of white patch formation, in meantime you can apply ointment like Candid gel on your tongue you will get relief, maintain proper oral hygiene, use tongue scraper to clean your tongue. Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health.
