whats wrong with my tounge?

[bellydancer232]

ive had a patchy tounge for months now, i went to my doctor who gave me tablets for two weeks for thrush of the mouth which has now made my tounge white and not helped at all, she tested by blood for problems with my kidneys and if i had diabeties, by blood was fine but my tounge seems to be getting worse, it is sometimes sore and i have no idea what to do. On Med Help ive read about Geographic tounge and how B12 helps it. ive been taken them twice and day and it doesnt seem to help. my doctor seems to be very un-usful as well. it looks terrible. any help ?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
White patchy tongue can be due to poor oral hygiene. Use a tongue cleaner if the diagnosis is confirmed. It could also be due to thrush. This would need local antifungal applications along with tablets. Another possibility is abnormal liver function. Lichen planus also causes smooth patches on the tongue and so does erythema migrans or geographic tongue. It could also be a manifestation of a STD. Multivitamin B along with vitamin C should be taken. Please consult either a skin specialist or an orolaryntologist for this.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
