Can Meth Burn Tongue ?
My daughter is home from rehab. She used meth and burnt her tongue very badly before rehab. She drank very hot coffee and burnt her tongue and noe there is a small area that looks just like the meth burn from before. Can this happen without using meth again? How can it e treated.

Hello,
Meth users will lose their teeth, experience painful oral sores, and abscesses, and may even lose parts of their mouth like the tongue, tonsils, or parts of the lip. I suggest you to visit your doctor for her complete checkup and treatment if there is anything else like some bacterial infections or any ulcers due to other causes as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
