Sore tongue

[yvette64]

Does anyone no why I keep getting a sore tongue it's bright red and really sore wen I eat and makes me sweat all the time I've been to the doctors they said it's thrush but I'm getting it every month

Yes swollen at the root of the tongue and very sore down one side. Eating can be a bit of a challenge so tend to do soup and soft food. Dr don't have any idea why or what.

A painful swollen tongue is often the first sign of a flare for me. But it is not a surface soreness like thrush but a deeper soreness, as though a crop of big boils is forming along the side of the tongue. It makes the whole side of my face ache, my eye streams, my ear aches and I often feel headachy, feverish and fluey with it. Occasionally ulcers break through but more often the pain recedes before ulcers come right out. I guess I am lucky in that respect. I can usually see and feel a 'head' or several.

Colchicine improved it for a year, but recently it is wearing off and I am getting the problem again. It wipes me out for about a week and occurs every 4 to 8 weeks. Ibuprofen helps with the pain a bit, but I am going to talk to the doc about something longer lasting

Someone mentioned using a brown steroid asthma inhaler on the tongue, and I shall also try this.
