How to get rid of soreness and white coating like on my tongue?
Patient: I've been snorting and occasionally smoking meth for about a month or so and I've noticed that I have sores and a coating of white on my tongue and my tongue is actually sore. Also I think I've been biting my tongue maybe when I sleep cus I grind my teeth really bad.. Anyways I want to stop the sores and the biting are there any ways to make things better on my mouth? Oh and the fucking acne... I've never had acne ever my body is smoother than a babies butt and I've been breaking out on my back and arms and even on my legs a little. What does that mean and how do I stop that? Doctor: Hello:)Thankyou for posting in HCM.Quit smoking immediately.This burning can be due to smoking as well.You did not mention if the white coating on tongue is scrapable.I suggest you to consult your dentist for a clinical evaluation.If necessary, you must go for a biopsy, to check if it is a lesion or just bacterial growth.Maintain good oral care.Brush,floss and mouthwash.You did not mention if you are stressed. stress and worm infestation most commonly leads to night grinding. You can use albendazole if you suspect worm infestation.Ask your dentist for a night guard.This will dissepate the grinding forces.Acne can be because of hormonal imbalance.See your physician reg. this.Apply quadragel ointment thrice daily on the tongue ulcers for relief.Regards.
