What Causes Soreness And Tingling In Tongue With Foul Breath?

Hi my tounge is sore sometimes tingling. My breathe is foul. On water tablets an thyroxine. Daily but have been for a long time. Last week the doctor gave me a mouth medicine for the white covering on my tounge but that has now gone. I also had a water infection and was given antibiotics so that has gone. But my tounge is sore and ny breathe is foul to the point of real embarrassment and I am afraid to open my mouth for affenpinscher people. This morning the taste is horrendous and surgery is closed.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain and your medical history of taking thyroxine tablets and recent history of having white coating on tongue along with treatment of infection, the symptoms seems more consistent with the symptoms of Burning Mouth Syndrome in which there is soreness and tingling sensation on the tongue and the bad breath can be due to dryness in mouth and also oral infections..

Nothing to worry, consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case of Burning mouth syndrome he can advise you to gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine for relief.
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.
Sucking ice pops and cold water rinses can further help..
Chew flavoured sugar free chewing gums as it help in stimulating saliva flow as well as mask the bad breath..
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid hot and spicy food and take a soft bland diet..
You will also be evaluated for oral infections and will be treated accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
