What Causes Dry Mouth And Rough Tongue?
Question: I have dry mouth and would like to know if this is causing my tongue to be rough and black and also the worst part is food tastes like garbage. Or could this be a sign of something else.
Brief Answer:
GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
It seems you are suffering from Acid Peptic Disease associated with Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
I would advise following in such scenario:
1. To take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
2. To take soft, bland diet.
3. To take anti flatulent and anti acidity syrup like DIgene.
Even if your problem persists, you should get:
1. Upper GI endoscopy
2. Ultrasound Abdomen.
Share my opinion with your doctor. I am sure he/she will agree to this.
I hope it helps.
Stay Healthy
