What causes my sore tongue with white spots?
Last year, following a nasty course of shingles which was treated with prednisone, I I had a white tongue, which hurt. My doctor gave me medicine for thrush. First, try Glyoxide. (available without a prescription, sold in the oral care isle) It bubbles on the tongue, or a canker sore inside the mouth, but it works quickly. You can get thrush if you have eaten too much sugar, yeast, or similar food items. Go to the Library and check out the book, The Yeast Connection. You might have a sensitivity, which will cause the outbreak. Also, when you get an outbreak, take 10 tablets a day of Lysine. Space out the tablets, it helps with the stress that causes canker sores. I have also switched to Biotene toothpaste, and mouthwash. It is for sensitive mouths. Lastly, Trident gum with xylotol is better for you than other gums. By any chance are you under a lot of stress, that you haven’t considered as stress? Your body will always let you know when it is over-burdened. Good luck with your problem.
