My Tongue

[Samuraisan]

For the last couple of weeks half of my tongue, the half towards to tip, feels like it is burnt. I cannot taste anything there and it has cracks in it when I pull it open, so to speak. Sorry it sounds gross. I do not remember eating anything that would have burnt it, anyway, normally that clears up in a day or two. It is a reddish colour. Any ideas ?

I think I'd be seeing doc.

[Old_Geezer]

Sounds like you speak with forked tongue.
In your shoes I'd definitely see my GP.

[Sqad]

No big deal.
Probably the commonest cause is a vitamin deficiency....anemia or something similar.
Of course you are not a smoker.......NO!
See you GP at your leisure.

Could be oral thrush, go and stick it out at a pharmacist and they will give you some Daktarin or similar to put on it or advise you to see a doctor.

[Samuraisan]

Thanks all. No Sqad I have never smoked in my life.

[Sqad]

LOl....just checking you understand...leave no stone unturned..;-)

I like a glass of vino blanco though Sqad, but now I can't tell the difference between a Verdejo or Savignon

[Sqad]

As long as your white wine is an Albarino rias baixas is doesn't matter what the grape.

It was that pizza the other day that burnt it.

[Samuraisan]

Can't taste it though Sqad. If there is no improvement by Friday I will pop into my GP and see what she says. I will ask her for blood test as you suggested I could have some deficiency. I will tell her you told me to check.
