Sore Taste Buds and Numbness

by kk2008, May 03, 2008 04:00PM
I noticed that I had a couple of sore taste buds on the tip of my tongue about 1 week ago that were really bothering me. I sort of bit them off, they bled and the pain was gone but the next day more had popped up. It seems like as soon as I ged rid of one or two, more seem to appear. The area where they started is kind of numb now and they seem to be moving across the front of my tongue. I have been taking Cipro for a UTI for about 4 days, but this issue started before I began taking the medicine. Any suggestions as to why they keep popping up and how to get rid of them permanantly. I feel like i have lost the ability to taste on the very tip of my tongue.

Thanks!

Seeing an oral pathologist is advised.
