for about 3-4 days now my mouth , tongue and roof of mouth have been pretty dry. The only way I can describe it is like a slight burning/ sandpaper feeling on my tongue. It is a little more on the white side. My lips are also dry.
I do have health anxiety and TMJ and I’m 34. I don’t drink or smoke ( ex smoker 2 years quit now)
anyone else had this ? I feel like I’m trying to down water but only gives a small amount of relief!

Thrush?

I have a similar burning feeling in my mouth but it's red and on my gums and inside my lips, tongue wise only the underside is affected.
I've had mine for several weeks now, sadly.

For a white tongue it could be thrush or lichen planus perhaps?

I get it when I’m ovulating

@Gertlushthatis That’s what I thought but iv never had it before so not sure but looking on google it does sound somewhat likely!
@happysunr1se sounds awful, mine isn’t painful as such just horribly dry and a little sore.

Do you have any small marks or blisters in your mouth? How do you feel in general? Could be foot and mouth

Pine mouth?

@TheMixedGirl No not that I can see or feel , it’s more dry if anything. I do have TMJ so occasionally have bitten my face and caused scratches but I don’t believe it’s hand foot and mouth !
