Hello doctor, I am having issues with my tongue. I have pain on the back right side of my tongue which is making it very difficult to eat, swallow, and talk. Also, I have a slight fever (99.5) and my tongue appears to be white in color. The pain started three days ago.
Hello. You may have tonsillitis or so if you have an ulcer-like lesion on your tongue. Please attach a picture if possible. I suggest you take a painkiller for relief. Is the pain continuous or intermittent or comes only when you take food? Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week. You should see a dentist or an ENT surgeon as soon as possible. I can suggest better if I can see a picture of the area having pain. Touch the area and press there on the tongue. Is the area hard or swollen? Please describe.
