Hi everyone-normally I don’t post on here but I’ve been dealing with this issue for months and am feeling desperate. After I eat or wake up in the morning, my tongue has this yellowish coating. It tastes bad/bitter and is worse towards the back. My tongue burns and is sore/feels swollen and my mouth feels dry. At first I thought it could be thrush and treated it with diflucan/nyastatin, but that did nothing. It also isn’t able to be scraped off. I went to the dentist and told them about my issue. They suggested alcohol free mouthwash, biotene mouthwash for dry mouth, sensodyne toothpaste, and oral probiotics. I have been doing these for months but there is still no difference. I also have had some minor pain on one of my upper right teeth when I bite down a certain way. I mentioned this to my dentist and they examined my tooth and said it looked fine, could be due to bruxism or maybe there was a chip in the enamel but no cracks or infection. I know I grind my teeth at night but I always have. At first I thought maybe it was GI related but I have been trying everything to no avail. What can I do to help alleviate these symptoms?
