Sore tongue and mouth

Posted , 11 users are following.

Has anyone experienced soreness of the tongue and roof of mouth? A bit like when you have sucked too many boiled sweets? (I haven't.. honest) It's been about a week now. Nothing much to see, a bit inflamed perhaps but jolly sensitive. No dental or gum probs. Just using salt water rinses and occasional Oraldene rinse to sooth but it doesn't appear to be resolving. Wondered if it's a pred thing.

    Karen -

    Let your GP have a look - I had a bit of thrush a few months ago inside my mouth - could be the Pred.

    Tissues inside mouth can become sensitive and it's possible to burn roof of mouth with hot food.

    I've also just had a couple of weeks with sore tongue - possibly also caused by hot food/drinks.

    Hope you find some relief soon.

    Jean.
