DISCOLORED TONGUE
I hail o every one for this ogbonge blog. Abeg I need Doctors and fellow bvs to come to my aid. Part of my tongue is coated with whitish/ yellowish substance. I googled it and discovered its called geographic tongue(its like map truly)
Sometimes early in d morning, I use spoon to scrape first b4 I brush. Pls what can I do to make my tongue a healthy pink?
1. I am a heavy soft drink "drinker".
2. I equally have a not so nice breath especially when I close my mouth for a while.
Some medical conditions shouldn't be brought here in the first place now......Go and see a doctor in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteNo dey talk like that I beg. In African soceity, ignorance which is encouraged by our indigenous beliefs is sending people to early grave. Some like this person in question might not know that this is a serious condition, so PLS advice accordingly instead of adding to their grief.
DeleteBack to the condition in question. Dear Poster, you have what they call thrush. I guess it's been like this for a long time. So the situation is serious. It means it has also lined your upper digestive tract ie, from your mouth, throat, pharynx to your stomach. It is mostly a fungal infection. You need to see a Doc ASAP (as soon as possible). PLS, not somebody running a medicine store in your neighborhood. Now, your breath might be stinky as hell. The odor is not just from your mouth, but deep inside, from your stomach.
Do not hesitate to see a real Doc please . This condition kills, slowly !!!. Then they will be blaming someone in your family or at your job for poisoning you. It is treatable.
Also, most people with this condition, may be immunocompromised. PLS let them do blood work(labs) to check your blood count s, of both white & red blood cells and other stuff. I am not insinuating anything, but it's good to know your status.
I wish u the best with God's grace upon you.
Hmmm...
ReplyDeletePoster,go and see a dentist biko...
This is so disgusting *pukes...I wonder why Stella didn't add viewers discretion...

Delete@ poster, it's the sugary drinks that is feeding bacteria on your tongue and making them grow rapidly. I suggest you cut out or drastically reduce consumption of these and buy glycerine to clean your tongue every day.
DeleteOf course you'll have bad breath cos of the bacterial growth. Pele
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
This is not a hospital for heaven sake!!! People ll b joking with their lives,tell me what these comments ll do to ur tongue now...busy snapping when you should be running to the hospital...mtchewwwww

DeleteMaybe u should quit drinking soft drinks for now, it may be excess sugar. Consult a doctor, preferably a dentist, use Synsodine or Pepsodent tooth paste, am not sure I got d spellings right but de are good tooth paste for oral infection.
ReplyDeleteHian,who is ur kissing mate? Obviously, u r suffering from kissolazotonic disease. U will have to cut ur tongue, wrap it in a foil paper, then send it to the lab for tongue swab test
ReplyDeleteComon close ur dirty stinking mouth !!! Ewwww.
ReplyDeleteThat thing is called "efu" in yoruba. Its the primary cause of mouth odour.
ReplyDeletePut alum in your mouth for about 5mins. After it has completely dissolved gaggle with the liquid.
Use spoon to scrap it out.
Repeat the process until your tongue is clear.
Buy a tongue srapper and use daily to avoid further build up.
This tin na efu now.....pple can like to hype things,use alum and always wash ur tongue.Oni karamo
DeleteCeetee wasere....u r an omo agba like me
DeletePoster solution is here o. Come and try.
DeleteEfu is same thing as thrush I'm guessing? Looks like oral thrush.
DeleteStop drinking pop!drink water often. Always brush before going to bed. Nice lips though.
ReplyDeleteYou saw the lips in the midst of all that??? Yuck
DeleteTry and buy "ogun efo" buy the one with pepper gargle and spit out
Jesus Christ of Nazareth! And I just had to open dis post while eating...oooohhhhhh!!!!! U use spoon to scoop before brushing too????? Abeg,make i find Heineken drink first to avoid vomiting this food. I dey come
ReplyDeleteI just want to ask, why is it that you peeps always claim to be eating when you see posts like this biko? You didn't know this is Doctors section before you opened? Nawa
DeletePix is disgusting btw..
Some doctors section don't have pix to accompany d disease naa...so don't blame me..I think say na only theory,I no know say practical dey involve. Would have appreciated it if stellz wrote graphics pics ahead...view at ur own peril.
DeleteOmg... was licking mango wen I opened dis post... stella u should have put viewers discretion advised

DeleteBitchplis,why should a lady taste herself na? Na una job
DeleteLord take perfect control
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
What you have is most likely oral thrush. Get Oral nystatin drops and once it clears off, go on a one- month course of probiotics.
ReplyDeleteFried in butter? Stella you are mouthed hahhaha
ReplyDeleteYuck! Worisdis???
ReplyDeleteThe tongue and the face not only need mnedical help but prayers. Pray with Psalm 91 and u will be healed . Shalom

ReplyDeleteFrom the 2nd picture, you may have HIV. The sore on the side of ur tongue is a sign
ReplyDeletesince it was fried in butter, lets buy bread and egg or sandine join am self.
ReplyDeleteOga stop being a heavy drinker of soft drink may be that is the problem. sorry for what you are going through.
So the main thing na to show evidence of sickness or beggy beggy. God dey ooo
May be you have Oral trush , stop licking soured soup, u say no
ReplyDeleteWooow! Scrape first??? That's bad o. Just goan see a dentist or a tongue doctor if they exist.
ReplyDeleteChai!
This is mouth ulcer, pls run to pharmacy to buy vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). Or get Bonjela or better still go to the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that it is only one person that has mentioned HIV.
ReplyDeleteThis mouth infection is a major indication of HIV. Please my dear, run to hospital and do a HIV test. If it is positive, you begin treatment, if it is not HIV, thank your God and then go for treatment for that mouth infection.
Do not be afraid. HIV is no longer a death sentence. Many people have and are moving around with anybody's knowledge.
best reply ever
Deleteearly signs of hiv
Deleteconstant headache
backache
diarrhoea and dysentry
whitish sore coating in the tongue
weakness
fever etc and etc
so kindly go check ursef dear
This was the first thing that came to my mind, please poster go for HIV test, this looks like oral thrush which is a sign of hIV.
DeleteU shd do a retrovirus screen. Hv u hrd of oral thrush. It may or may nt b it. Most likely an infection esp a hire tyn. Chk ur HIV status
ReplyDeleteStop d suger in-take. See a doc and work of yr tongue.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and criticism. I don't mind really. I just need solution to it.
I will try the lime and salt suggestion. Thanks all.
*side eyes most of you to attic region*
Also find herb Bitchplis mentioned up there. Seem it's a common and very effective one as more than one comment ve confirmed. Kpele it is well.
DeleteWhat is your HIV status? You may need to see a doctor as this looks more like oral thrush. Scrapping and brushing will not do the magic but thorough medical examination will go a long way. You may need to get oral nystatin drops.
ReplyDeleteEeeeeewww. Stella should have warned us. I think she is hiv positive.
ReplyDeletePoster,pls see a dentist, and use the natural remedies some kind hearted ppl type here. Stop or drastically reduce those drinks u like taking .
ReplyDeleteThe way people are' awwing' ' goshing' and 'puking'you would feel they have a tongue as clean as what hypo bleach has washed. At least the poster noticed she needs help thus her posting it here. How many of us check our tongue? I can imagine what most of us puking has inside our mouths.why don't you get a mirror and check yours! I can bet the number of discoveries.
Poster,I don't know you or your problems,but from d little I see from your pic,you have a nice skin.pls try the alum and lime sugestions
Have u tested for HIV? Discoloured tongue with whitish coating is one of d early symptoms.
ReplyDeleteur the only person who has said sometin reasonable
DeleteStop self diagnosis.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many differentials of a whitish/ yellowish patch on the dorsal surface of the tongue.
On the lateral border of ur tongue, it looks like benign migratory glossitis( geographic tongue) but where ur pappilae are, it looks like something else.
Just go to the dental clinic, seee a dentist .
You probably are deficient vitamin b12.
And I hope it's just benign migratory glossitis.
All the best .
Avoid hot and spicy food in the interim.
Google at work.
DeleteThe Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests the following may be warning signs of HIV infection but cautions that any of these symptoms can be related to other illnesses and that only an HIV blood test can be used for an accurate diagnosis:
ReplyDeleteRapid weight loss
Dry cough and shortness of breath
Recurring fever or profuse night sweats
Profound and unexplained fatigue
Swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
Pneumonia
Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin, or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
Memory loss, depression, or other neurological disorders.
Use a cotton wool soaked in olive oil and kip cleanin the tongue everyday. Wit patience and prayers, everytin will clear. Dooooo

ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeletesee a dentist ASAP. That doesnt look good at all.
ReplyDeleteListen to anon 12.23. funny enough, i just came across this yesterday night when I was researching something else and the pic of a tongue I saw on the website is exactly like urs. It is candidaisis of the mouth (oral thrush).,.I for follow dey make useless comment if not for dat knowledge cos i thot Candida is found only down der. Google it and follow the instructions der or beta still see a doctor.
ReplyDeleteITS ANNOYING WHEN PEOPLE COME HERE AND MAKE FUN OF REAL PROBLEMS.
ReplyDeleteDEAR POSTER, I HAVE JUST BEEN RESEARCHING THIS AS SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY HAS A SIMILAR ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM AT ALL- IT IS AN OVERGROWTH OF BAD BACTERIA IN YOUR MOUTH. ITS ACTUALLY CALLED ORAL THRUSH OR ORAL CANDIASIS (NOT VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE THRUSH PEOPLE GET IN THEIR PRIVATES). YOU NEED TO CUT DOWN ON SUGAR AND REDUCE YOUR INTAKE OF CARBONATED DRINKS AKA 'SOFT DRINKS'. DRINK LOADS AND LOADS OF WATER - SOFT DRINKS ARE BAD FOR YOU ANYWAY.
ALSO, HYDROGEN PERIOXIDE WILL SORT OUT THE BAD BREATH INSTANTLY (BECAUSE IT WILL KILL OFF ODOUR CAUSING BACTERIA):
1) MIX 2 TABLESPOONS OF 6% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE WITH EQUAL AMOUNTS OF WATER. DO NOT SWALLOW!!! JUST USE IT TO GARGLE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS TWICE EVERYDAY. YOU MAY NOTICE BIG WHITE FOAMS FORMED IN YOUR MOUTH, THAT'S JUST THE ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTION OF THE H2O2 (AKA HYDROGEN PEROXIDE).
2) BUY A TONGUE SCRAPER AND SCRAPE THE WHITE LAYER OFF, YOUR TOOTHBRUSH CAN ALSO DO THE JOB, JUST DONT MAKE YOUR TONGUE BLEED. HOWEVER, THE H2O2 WILL STOP THE BAD BREATH IMMEDIATELY.
YOU CAN ALWAYS ELECT TO SEE A DENTIST IF YOU WANT TO OR IF IT PERSISTS BECAUSE THEN IT COULD BE A SIGN OF SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
HERE ARE SOME USEFUL LINKS FOR MORE INFORMATION:
1) EARTH CLINIC OFFERS NATURAL REMEDIES FOR MOST AILMENTS. READ THROUGH AND CLICK THROUGH FOR MORE INFORMATION AND YOU WILL ALSO SEE OTHER TESTIMONIALS ON H2O2: http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/breath.html
WARNING: DO NOT FOR ANY REASON SWALLOW THE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE MIXTURE
2) WEBMD IS A GOOD RESOURCE FOR LEARNING ABOUT AILMENTS, THEIR CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS. YOU WILL GET MORE INFORMATION ON EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH HERE (YOUR CASE IS NO. 7 IN THE SLIDESHOW): http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/ss/slideshow-mouth-problems
3) THIS IS THE BRAND OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE I RECOMMEND. I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU USE THE 6% VOL. HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE: http://images-its.chemistdirect.co.uk/Hydrogen-Peroxide-Solution-6-20-vols-5555.jpg?o=b8STRp8eDWay44MKehvE5rd2t78j&V=7N3m
YOU CAN FIND IT AT MOST PHARMACIES AND ITS NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL. YOU CAN ALSO USE IT TO DISINFECT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH(ES). H2O2 IS ACTUALLY THE MAIN ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN MOST TEETH WHITENERS SO IT WILL GRADUALLY WHITEN YOUR TEETH AS WELL. LASTLY, YOU WILL FEEL SOME SENSITIVITY IN YOUR TEETH AND GUMS AFTER FIRST USE.
ALL THE BEST

Good advice.please cut down on sugary drinks.dere in nothing healthy in them.instead make your own from fresh fruits. Blend watermelon wit one cucumber , pineapple, take lots of oranges n mangoes (dey r in season), take lemon wit warm water 1st ting in d morning. Detox yourself n your body will thank you 4 it.u can buy some living bitters to cleanse your system. Works
Deletelook for where ogun efu is sold, mostly yoruba pple sell it. it will go in no time .
ReplyDeleteIt is when you come to comments section that you know the kind of stuff we human beings are made up of. We have totally lost our humanity, what makes us human. Our ability to empathize with our fellow human beings who are facing one challenge or the other. There is nobody alive who doesn't have one challenge or the other. Before we cuss out other, look inward.
ReplyDeletePlease my people, one of the greatest lessons I have learnt is, "if you don't have anything good to say, keep quite"
Dear Poster, be encouraged. Go to hospital for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Go for HIV test biko
ReplyDeleteNa true o! That's one symptom of HIV.
