Denisemomof4 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) It is red, kind of raw, and HURTS. It feels like it was burned but it wasn't. It also almost feels like there is a coating on it but there isn't. No sickness, just one VERY sore tongue! ideas? I think I'll gargle with salt water after I dink some tea. ETA: never mind. I guess. I should have googled first. Candida. :glare: Edited September 18, 2012 by Denisemomof4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*lifeoftheparty* Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 OR, it could be your toothpaste! That happened to me, and it wasn't candida.... we had just switched to Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. They use a different type of flouride and it caused chemical burns on my tongue and inside of my cheeks, and even my gums were hurting. If you look up reviews on Crest Pro-Health, especially on Amazon, you'll see that a LOT of people get burned from it. It took WEEKS before I was better :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was going to guess geographic tongue, but you didn't mention that it had irregular lines like a map. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am nearing the end of my sensitive tooth toothpaste. It can't be that.

happi duck Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sounds like thrush. Swishing coconut oil so it got all over my tongue helped me. I did it many times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
