White tongue
Hi,
On the 15th of Januray I have noticed that I have this white tongue, usually I have a nice pink tongue. I noticed this white tongue because one moning when I woke up I had vey dry mouth so I went to check it in the mirror. Later on I started to have 37.2 degree temperature for 6 days (it was coming back to normal at some parts of the day)
Here is the story On the 24th of december I went to the dentist to have a root canal treatment on one of my tooth and other work was done on my teeth, the dentist prescribed me Dalacin C 300mg for a week in order to avoid any infections. I also have a rotten tooth that also needs a root canal treatment. Recently I went to an ENT doctor who said that on first sight nothing alarming and took a swab sample of the white coating, which came back negative.
I do not know if this is important but 4 months ago I received an unprotected fellatio and all my STD test came back negative.
What can this be? how can I treat it?
Thank you very much for any advice.

In my opinion, unless you are an alcoholic or you have yellow tinge to your skin, or taking medication for hypertension, you do not need to have a liver function test.
I do not know what CBC is.
The symptoms you describe could be related if you have a waterworks infection, and are anaemic.
You need to chill.
Get your urine tested for urinary tract infections.
Get your blood checked for anaemia and B12, diabetes and possibly kidney function.
Hope you have had your tooth repaired.
Keep applying the Daktarin as prescribed.
Make sure you have a good oral hygiene. Brush yur teeth morning and evening.
And see how we go from there.
I usually work in Stones and by my reckoning if the 73.4 is in pounds you weigh 5stone 5 lbs. For a chap of yur age, don't know how tall you are or yur body frame, but that is far too low and unhealthy.
See your GP asap to check for blood disorders.
Another disorder that can cause loss of weight can be overactive thyroid.
As yu said that yur appetite has got less, then I presume that you are not deliberately anorexic.
Take care, best wishes.

With your persistent urgent need to urinate, you may have a urinary tract infection. Take a urine specimen with you when you see your doctor, or in some surgeries (in ours) you can just drop off a specimen. Ask the receptionist for a urine specimen bottle. When you do a urine specimen, first pee a little into the toilet, then into the bottle and finish off into the toilet. This is called a mid urine flow. It is best to do one when you first wake up. If you can't get it to the doctors or lab for a few hours, keep it in the fridge.
Any signs of a urinary infection can be cloudy, smelly sedminent deposits, sometimes blood can be seen (dark urine). Dark urine can also be from some meds and foods. So don't be too alarmed if you are taking meds and drinks foods that could discolour your urine (if you eat beetroot that will make your pee on the red side).

Hi Jemma regarding my appetit I am 28 years old so i do not think old :)
but I am stressed and depressed.
My bowel movement are fine I think I do not have constipation or diarrhea, just this often feeling that i need to urinate.
This appetite loss happened at the same time when I noticed my tongue, how can I know if it is related should I go to a gastroenterologist doctor?
I am very scared...

As you are stressed and depressed this will have an impact on your eating habits. Some people (like myself) when depressed and suffer from stress eat more and gain weight. Others, like yourself, it affects the appetite and therefore you don't fee like eating.
Please go to see a GP, (hope you have been keeping a food and drink and "how I feel every day" diary), take your notes with you to the doctor so that he will see a pattern of what is going on.
Hopefully he will take a blood sample to check for anaemia, diabetes or other illnesses (depends on what the doctor thinks you may have) NOTE what I have said "MAY have".
As you are not experiencing any digestive problems apart from loss of appetite, best to see the GP first, he will then determine whether you need to be examined by a gastroenterologist.
As you have a constantly dry mouth (I have this problem too), drink plenty of water. Sometimes with a dry mouth (if you are not breathing through an open mouth) can also be from diabetes.
I know you are worried that you have lost this weight because you have not consciously been dieting. Go to the Doc as explained above, and ask for a blood test for anemia, B12 deficiency and diabetes.
In the meantime, do not eat hot and spicy foods, or fried foods.
Keep up with the good oral hygiene and drink the yogurt and apply the Daktarin (if you read the instructions, it does say to continue for a few days after the symptoms have settled). When you apply it to yuor mouth, put some in and swish it around your mouth. Try not to eat or drink too soon afterwards so that the Darktarin stays in your mouth for as long as possible.
Stress and depression is no good for your health, and your doctor should ask you questions with regard to this, as you may need a course of antidepressents (if you are not taking any at the moment). Don't forget that not all antidepressents suit all people, so it is trial and error getting the right one that suits you. If you fall rock bottom and lose interest in hygiene and your hobbies for example, it will take up to 3 months for the antidepressants to have any effect.
You need to speak on a one to one basis with your doctor. Write a list of all your problems and hand that to your doctor (sometimes this is better than talking with him because you may miss something out).
In the meantime eat foods that contain iron, milk, eggs, meat (for B12) and dark green veg, You can buy B12 sublingual (placed under the tongue), excess B12 in your body will be excreted through the urine. And multivitamins with iron. But best to get a blood check with your doctor.
To help with the stress and depression before you see the doctor, go for walks in the fresh air as well as any form of relaxation you prefer - not sitting in front of a computer or TV.
Hope you get on alright and that I have given you lots to think about to help you get back on track again.
Best wishes.
