tongue spots
by chris33333, Mar 01, 2008 04:42PM
About a month ago, I noticed a red patch on the tip of my tongue. I used glyoxide, changed toothpastes and stopped using listerine to see if it would get better. It would seem to fade, and then return, and in the morning, it would have a whitish film over it. Now, it seems to be getting worse. The back of my tongue has this white film over it, and the taste buds look inflamed. The back of my throat is looking pretty gross as well, with whitish patches, and a mucuosy film over my uvula. I've been feeling sick for the past few weeks on and off. I had a sinus infection and took anti-biotics, felt better, and now seem to have a cold or flu. I was thinking it might be strep throat or mono, but my throat doesn't hurt, and i don't have a fever. Now I'm worried it might be oral cancer caused by HPV (I have a small white bump under my tongue). I'm going to the doctor in a few days, but I can't stop worrying about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
