Are you speaking of thrush? If so, it is an oral yeast infection.  Check out the link I provided and see if it sounds like what you are talking about.

Little sores on your tongue can be from different things. Sugar candy or tart candy, gum, Different toothpastes. etc.I suggest finding what it is that may have caused it to begin with. Mine was Aquafresh Toothpaste,so I swtiched brands. To treat them so they do not hurt use oragel or some type of numbing gel to get rid of the pain.

I get that, too.  I think it is a swollen taste bud.  It could have been injured by burning or too much sugar or biting it accidentally or something like that, or it could have gotten infected somehow.  I think the only way to get rid of it is to wait.

Geographic Tongue simply means a tongue that has lots of grooves and fissures in it - these grooves and fissures make an excellent breeding ground for the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath and a white tongue. The way around this problem is simply making sure that your tongue is kept as clean as possible.

Sounds like a reaction to something you did that caused you to become allergic. The symptoms are the itchy, followed with hot red bumps, brought on by you intitating the scratching. First you need to ask yourself some questions....Did I eat something to cause this reaction? Did I use a new cosmetic on my skin or a old one? Did I try a new detergent? Or is the one I always use making me get a reaction? Is the medication or herbal pills or both making me break-out? What ever it is drink alot of water to flush out your system...keep a written journal on what you do and just monitor your self. It is cheapier to heal yourself than visit the doctor. Use common sense. Use products that are allergy-free. Good Luck

The cause could be a cavity in a tooth or bacteria on the tongue.  You should brush your tongue as well as invest in a tongue scaper and scrape your tongue.  If you still have bad breath see a dentist to examine your teech

Its actually food particles. My daughter has had them like that because she had a lot of tonsilitis when she was young and it pits your tonsils so that small bits of food can get lodged. Its like a plaque would be on your teeth, so thats why its smelly. You might also have post nasal drip which is what makes hers really bad. Her Doc suggested gargling with listerine 2 times a day (not any other mouthwash, must be Listerine)and drinking more with meals. It helped her a lot. It only flares up occasionally now. It will take about 3 days or so to tart lessening then should be mostly gone in 2 weeks, provided you stick with the routine. She also took a decongestant with her routine, but you would want to talk to a doctor about your need for that.

I didn't find much about that term, but what I did find suggested that it has something to do with the tongue.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

First off, you may want to go get this checked out by your doctor. First check and see if the white stuff on your tongue can easily be scraped off.  If it can, then it is most likely a candida (yeast) infection.  Any condition in which your immune system drops (such as prolonged used of antibiotics, corticosteriods, or immunocompromising diseases like AIDS, chemotherapy, etc.) can predispose you to this infection. This infection can also cause redness of the tongue without the white coat.  If it is oral candidiasis, also called oral thrush, then antifungal treatment can be prescribed to you by a doctor. Now if the white stuff can not be easily scraped off, then the diagnosis is most likely something called leukoplakia that could be precancerous.  Either way, see a doctor.  You will know what to do if/when this happens again.

Its probably a canker sore.  You pretty much just have to wait those things out.  Keep acidic foods away from it in the meantime.  I get one everytime I go to the dentist and the last time it took a week for it to go away.

While you’re problem could indeed many caused by any number of things\n\nsuch as allergy, etc, if you have what I suspect you have it is called\n\nGeographic Tongue (Benign Migratory Glossitis). Why do I suspect this\n\nand not something else? Simple, because I suffer from it too and I’ve\n\nalready educated myself about it extensively, so I know exactly what\n\nyou are going through. Fortunately though my condition didn’t manifest\n\nuntil I was in my early 40’s so I haven’t had to deal with it all my\n\nlife.\n\n\n\nGeographic Tongue is actually a dermatological condition of the mouth.\n\nIt is a benign condition where there is a map-like appearance to the\n\ntongue resulting from irregular denuded patches in the surface (loss\n\nof tongue papillae). In many people the malady is secondary to local\n\nirritation from hot or spicy foods, alcohol, or tobacco. In other\n\nwords, an existing or acquired sensitivity to certain stimuli caused\n\nthe irritation and in some people it continues off and on for life.\n\n\n\nPeople who suffer from this relatively unimportant problem sometimes\n\nreport patchy areas on their tongue that resembles something similar\n\nto a map of the continents – hence the name, Geographic Tongue. These\n\npatches can be raised a bit or they can be slick and shiny. In rare\n\ncases some people even report cracking, burning or bleeding and\n\nblister on the tongue that can be alarming but these symptoms tend to\n\ncome and go. Physicians normally suggest a person identify foods and\n\nactivities that seem to bring about the worst symptoms and simply\n\navoid them. It is safe to assume that alcohol and tobacco are\n\nirritants and they should be avoided as well.\n\n\n\nThere are no real complications from Geographic Tongue and in really\n\nbad cases doctors do treat it. They sometimes prescribe topical\n\ncortisone preparations, like desoximetasone.\n\n\n\nHere are some discussions with people who suffer and doctors who treat\n\nthe condition:\n\n\n\nMEDHELP\n\nhttp://www.medhelp.org/forums/dermatology/messages/31717.html

The white spots are a definately sign of strep. My kids have both had strep many many times. If he has incredibly bad breath, this is another sure sign...time for the doctor, and a new toothbrush once the infection clears up.

It's called thrush.  Sometimes babies get it, and it's a white film or crust inside the mouth.  It's treated with an oral rinse of nystatin.  Anyone can get it, though (not just babies).

hmm...that's weird. that only happens to me if I eat food that is too hot before it cools down some. but, sometimes the insides of my gums get a slimy coating, and I discovered that was from using a toothpaste that was too strong. I use crest multi care cool mint and the problem has gone away. maybe you should try to use a sensative toothpaste or google your symptoms
