2weeks Post-Op mouth pain/silkyness, Bad taste

[northernstarmn]

I am having some issues, and iam not sure what it is or if i should go to the doc

my mouth in the morning has this white slime on the tongue, and then after i brush and druning the day the slime is clear my tounge and cheeks slightly burn, and i have an awful taste in my mouth

Ive stopped taking my oxy awhile ago I am still taking flexeril, I am wondering if it is an allergic reaction to the flexeril, something called STOMATITIS which is basically an inflammation of the mucous lining of the mouth

I didnt take the flexeril yesterday and lastnight (thinking if it was an allergic reaction i was having this would make it a little better) But, i woke up at 1 am with this head pain beyond belief, laid flat didnt help, the pain subsided a little bit- was able to get back to sleep, but i woke up  with a little more then slight pain, and reamined that way throughout the day, (mainly in back of head and neck but also in eyes)

I was wondering if anyone has experienced such a thing and if so what was it?
im thinking its either  this STOMATITIS, or thursh (but i dont have the classic white dots or pasty tongue its slimy(silky like))

any input would be great

That is a horrible feeling when there is something wrong with your tongue. I am so glad that it is starting to feel better already. I know I was reading somewhere about the baking soda helping with that burning feeling. I thought I had thrush a few months ago so I was doing some research on in my own. I think it may have been starting but with the brushing and gargling with all kinds of stuff I think I got it back on track. My tongue was hurting.
Glad you got into your docs so fast to take care of things.
Keep feeling better.

Hey...so glad u got in to see the dr and got something to help....so, now we know, u don't need spots for it to be thrush.

We all learn so much from these updates...thanks for sharing : )

welll i was vomiting almost all lastnight, and this morning my hurt would pound i would cry,
so when 8 am came i was on the phone with my doctors office and insisted i be seen by someone ANYONE i didnt care, so i got into see dr.o at 840 am I was late its rainy day here and everyone on the road was freaked i guess, so i get there at 9 am and didnt get out til a bit after 130, he gave me juice said i have thrush but it is possible i have an allergic reaction to the flexeril, called in 2 scripts 1 for niactin (or what ever) YUCK thats grose, and one for some stomach upset meds, picked up scripts my husband MADE ME EAT  LOL then i went for a nap slept til 5 ish and now here i am....

,,,,and i will say even with just 1 "treatment" of the grose stuff my mouth actually feels better.atleast its not so slimy- feel bad tho hubby missed another day of work, but i really needed to go to the doctor, there was no two ways about it,. it was either my doc or my hospital.....

Chardy- I dont have the white spots but i have this white film on my tongue and it burns, which is why we were thinking it wasnt thrush, but doc said with me being very vigilant on brushing and gargeling may not be giving it time to settle--- but it is defidently grose, slimy filmy white on tongue, and sometimes just a clear filmy bruning tongue,,,,dry roof of mouth, tongue would sometimes stick to the roof of mouth...GAG VOMIT GROSE-----   I was on antibiotics 2 weeks prior to surgery, and then i had been hooked up to a bag while i was in the hospital,.

I am not sure if you have to have the white spots for it to be thrush. If you were taking an antibiotic it could have resulted in thrush.
Did you by any chance change your toothpaste? I know certain brands of toothpaste do some crazy things to my mouth.
You can try brushing your tongue with some baking soda that helps with the burning sometimes.
Hope you find out what is causing this.

Hi Left my thoughts on the zipperhead thread.....call ur dr......it could be one of a few things, but each u dr should be aware of,.....thrush....acid reflux or a reaction to a med.....all need to be discussed with ur dr.
