DO NOT scrape ur tongue with a tongue scraper or brush ur tongue with a toothbrush that has a tongue scraper on it. Not only could it cause what u have to spread further, BUT it could be one of the most painful things u have ever experienced. Get to ur doctor, Oral thrush is very easily treated, and there is no reason for u to continue to suffer. But DO NOT take a tongue scraper to ur tongue!!! OUCH!!!!!

I would have to agree with the comments above.  Have you seen your doctor/dentist about this?  What I find actually works fairly well are those 3 dollar tongue scrapers at any Walmart, Target, etc.  I just use it once a day after I brush my teeth at night and it worked really well for me...keep us posted!

And oral thrush isn't really that big a deal, it's easy to treat.  Just brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth helps some people.  Go see a doc, but don't be afraid of this one.

Best thing to do is less reading about things. It can only make you feel worse. And go see a doctor and get your condition sorted out. I am sure they have something for it. To have it for nine months is too long. The longer you leave it the worse it will get. You are not dying. So get that thought out of your head. There is help out there. You just have to go out and get it. Make an appointment to see your doctor. Put your mind at ease. He will be able to help you.
