i have a sore tongue, and the roof of my mouth is also sore

[NormaSmuff]

what could this be?
last night my tongue was dry.
i looked at it in the mirror but do not usually look at it so can't compare

Have you eaten a lot of sugar recently?

i dont think so

i do vape though and i have needed to change my clearomiser recently

have you changed your liquid recently?

My first thought was that this is how my fruit allergies started, sore but also itchy.

no i havent changed my liquid.

I guess I should visit a dentist.

Could be the start of dry mouth. Keep an eye on this. Have you dry eyes?

i havent noticed dry eyes.
perhaps it is age related, ie menopause problems?

thanks maud

No bother Norma hope you get sorted.

Norma I've had to abandon eating pineapple as it gives me a sore tongue and mouth. Citrus and tomatoes can have a similar effect but not often.

I love tomatoes and eat them every day so hope this improves

Various foods cause this for me, Vanilla flavouring, chocolate (sob) and dairy stuff especially yoghurt

Thrush of the mouth? Only guessing though!

Oral thrush. Just correcting myself!

I had this before finding out I was anaemic.
My tongue kept getting really sore and I had a reoccurring ulcer on roof of my mouth.

If it doesn't improve maybe you should request a blood test. Good luck!

I was going to suggest anaemia until you said you ate tomatoes.... every year I forget, and every year as soon as the UK tomatoes are in the shops I can't resist and ow ow ow.... sore mouth again!!

do others who have this know why?

Its one of those things. Geographic tongue.

I would encourage you to consult your dentist of course - in case there's a mouthwash or summink that can help.

I've just been diagnosed with Folate Deficiency Anaemia. There have been lots of symptoms but one of the most recent has been a sore tongue and mouth ulcers. It's worth a chat with your Gp.

Fresh pineapple does this to my mouth!

And b12 deficiency causes sore tongue.
