Dry mouth can be helped by Biotine gel and a gum they make. Unfortunately I discovered this to late and that we're prone to certain oral diseases. Lack of this information caused me major tooth loss.

try a salt water gargle. when the severity lessons, brush you tongue with your toothpaste. gargle several times a day and keep your mouth clean. stay away from spicy foods and salty foods, tomatoes, processed lunch meat & cheese, chips, pretzels and all that. I suffer from sjorgrens syndrome and the sore inflamed tongue is part of it. as long as I am careful what I eat and drink, it doesn't hurt

Sounds like Thrush. Look it up online. In my line of work it's caused by inhalers with steroids in them (Respiratory Therapy). But there are several things that cause thrush. I hear it's very painful. This is only one thing it can be. I would see your doctor to get that looked into soon.

@A MyFibroTeam Member i have problems with my tongue and have had for a while, when i brush my teeth i can't let toothpaste touch my tongue and i simply cannot use mouthwash otherwise i am in agony for hours. If i make a curry for tea i can't have it too strong otherwise again agony but my kids like it hot so i sometimes try it but i never get through it. I asked about it and was told i had something called Geographical Tongue and that it is in fact a symptom of Fibro or even medication you take. The dry mouth or cotton mouth i also suffer from but mine is caused by the meds i take for my Prostate problem and was warned about it before i started taking them. I hope some of this helps you xx

Sorry to hear that, I get an awful dry mouth, I take Amitriptyline at night, doc said it was a side affect. Also noticed this week eating Pine Apple (only a little) makes the end of my tongue sting. It's weird Hope you get it sorted. X
