Does anyone suffer with random tongue swelling and soreness? Tongue almost looks white when it’s inflamed and the nodules stand out I don’t know how else to describe it. Sometimes the edges look scalloped too. it looks hideous and makes me feel self conscious

Hi! I use baking soda on my tongue, it removes the build up very well

Mine gets cracks on it.It almost looks like a dry desert.The dr gave me medication called pilocarpine.It is a blessing.It gives those glands a kick.It helps with the dry mouth in the morning(maybe too much-makes you drool like a baby🙂).Hope this helps.Take care.

Super annoying, swells so much it rubs on my teeth and makes it even more sore and sensitive.
