Since Friday afternoon my tongue has been increasingly sore, as though I've scalded it on a hot drink/food, but I haven't. There's nothing visible on it other than a few very small red spots on one side, and the edges look a bit crinkled. I don't think it can be thrush as it's a normal pink colour, though a tiny bit white at the very back. I also have acid reflux at the back of my throat, and things don't taste quite right - food and drink but also my toothpaste, which tastes disgusting! And it hurts to eat.
Any ideas? Of course I have googled and convinced myself of the worst (burning mouth can apparently last for years and years). Can anyone give me hope that it's something more minor/short term? TIA! x
