What Causes Raw Feeling In The Mouth And Tongue During Night?

My mouth gets a raw feeling, especially on the roof and tongue. It's way worse if I don't drink at least 2 liters of water, but sometimes when I'm drinking lots I still get it. I've had this for a few years. It seems way worse at night, and I can't wait to fall asleep and get my mind off of it, so that it will feel better in the morning. Also, some days are worse than other days.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from STOMATITIS which is inflammation of mucous membranes of mouth and tongue is most common to get affected due to which there redness and pain in mouth and there is raw feeling..

It can occur due to a number of conditions like Nutritional deficiency of Vitamin B12, Iron and folic acid, dry mouth, yeast infection like thrush, allergic reaction to certain medication like Antibiotics, anti convulsants, anti cancer drugs etc.
Chewing tobacco, smoking etc can also lead to stomatitis..

Viral infection in mouth can also lead to stomatitis and is known as HERPATIC STOMATITIS.

You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated to get ruled out for the exact cause of stomatitis and get treated accordingly..

As of now you can do cold water rinses and suck on ice pops for relief..
Drink plenty of water and 2 litres is still less as you should drink 3 to 4 litres a day.
Avoid hot and spicy food..
Take a cold bland diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
