Found Tongue Yellow, Feeling Burned. Swollen Tongue And More Mucus. What Can This Be?
Question: My tongue is yellow, feels as if it were slightly burned. Back of throat has a slightly similar feel. More mucus in throat than usual. Tongue feels swollen.
Brief Answer:
Possible infection of mouth and throat....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your clinical symptoms indicate an infection of your mouth and throat. If I were your caring doctor would advise to do the culture of the throat swab for bacteria and candida together with antibiogramme and mycogramme.
As the tests results will come after 3 days, I'd suggest to stop smoking (if you are a smoker) and take a good care of your mouth (wash with water and salt, mouth spray).
Hope it answered your question!
