I woke up this morning and realized both sides of my tongue had a cut or sore kind of thing. It hurts to brush my teeth if the brush touches the tongue. My tongue also seemed whiter than normal and on the sides I could see the red flesh inside the tongue. It hurts to eat, drink, even to talk. I never realized how important the tongue is when talking, it's very hard to pronounce words and it hurts trying to talk. I also put a lot of hot sauce on my food today which made it burn even more when I could feel the heat going right inside my tongue. On one side a part of my tongue even came off, just like a little strand and it's painful as anything, I even have to be careful drinking water and be careful swallowing. I've only been having this problem for one day, my parents say it will go away on its own. But it's super annoying and irritating and painful.

Thrush or geographic tongue? Also, don't put hot sauce on your food- what are you stupid?

I heard some people say you can get a cut or sore on your tongue from being in cold weather. I don't see how that makes sense though. Oh yeah and I put hot sauce on everything

that'll be something lol

I would avoid hot sauce as it will likely irritate and make the area more painful as you saw. As mentioned, depending on how white-ish the tongue is(like spread and such), maybe it's thrush but not sure without seeing pics and such.

It could be thrush, but it depends on how "white" you mean.

I know, I know, Wikerrrpedia, but it gives a nice explanation and picture.

It's not that white and it's mostly the cut on both sides that's bothering me. Reading that article scared me though, I definitely don't want this to get any worse. Which I hope it won't. I mean this is the first time something like this happened to me. I have bit my tongue before by accident but that pain went away after a few hours.

If it's caused you enough problems to post on an internet forum about it, chances are you should probably be consulting a medical professional ;o

Ahahahaha.

@OP; It's my professional medical opinion that you go see a doctor. You don't realize how important the tongue is, especially when it comes to speaking....

Day 3 now. My tongue looks the same, but it's very hard to eat or talk. When I eat not only is it painful but the food gets stuck in my teeth and I can't get it out because my tongue stings if I try. I can't move my tongue a lot so it's hard to words come out, when I'm talking it just sounds like noises. My mouth is constantly full of saliva for some reason which makes it even harder to talk. If I open my mouth for 5 seconds I start drooling.

Saliva heals wounds. Your mouth is trying to heal the cuts in the sides of your tongue by salivating. Wounds in the mouth heal very quickly for this reason, compared to wounds on the outside of the body.

You probably just shoved your tongue forward while it was surrounded by your teeth. Those little gaps between your teeth, molars especially, can be filled by your tongue while you're just sitting there with your mouth closed. If they're sharp, they can cut you.

sounds like a canker sore, there are over the counter drugs you can use to ease the pain, sorta like mint like stuff , some are sprays. They do ease the pain a bit, but don't really help it heal. I had that before, and it was cuz i ate too many chips, a food that i wasn't used to eating. Regardless, it'll go away in a week, it was horrible when i had it.

Hoping the pain goes by fast for you.

a doctor needs like 5 mins to check it out, i dont know why you waste your time trying to figure it out on your own.

especially since there is a high chace (s)hell say " oh, thats just X, ill give you a little bit of Y and youll be fine in a week". And then your mind can put this at rest.

I couldn't visit the doctor because I was busy on Thursday last week and she doesn't work on Fridays or weekends, so Monday is the earliest I could do that. I did go to the nearest pharmacy and they give me some mouth cream to apply directly to my tongue which won't make the cut go away but will numb the pain. They also said it goes away on its own just give it some time.
