Tongue Thrush
White and sore tongue that is not thrush?
Hello! I was wondering....I am 13 years old, and my tongue is very white--it has like small white bumps on it--almost like raised white taste buds that are extremely, extremely sore and painful. It's been getting worse by the hour, and now my gums are hurting too. My parents originally thought it was thrush, but I looked at pictures of what thrush looks like on the tongue, and my tongue does not look like them. We assume (my parents and I) that this is a yeast infection of some sort as I have eaten a lot of carbs/sugar in the last few days, and my immune system has been weak, and I've been stressed out...the list goes on. Anyways, I hope I have not bored or confused you, but what do you guys think this is? Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks so much! K

- Definitely see a doctor immediately. Problems with the tongue can develop to problems with breathing, which is very serious. This might be allergies or an infection.
