Reason For Dry And Purplish Tongue And Tasting Blood While Swallowing
Hello, I've been absent from school for four das with a strange throat problem. My throat was really dry (Not dehydration I drink lots of water) and I was almost constantly sucking on a halls cough drop. A few days later my throat doesn't hurt but my tongue looks strange and hurts, most of my tongue is white but torwards the back of my mouth my tongue was white but I brushed my teeth and tongue. The white stuff went away but now my tongue is a dark pinkish purple kind of burgundy color and feels raw. I also swallowed and tasted blood. This hasn't happened before and I kind of worried.
