Sore Tongue With Deep Lines. Took Vicodin. Reason?

Sore tongue, thought I just had a canker sore and then my whole tongue started hurting. Has little deep lines all over it . Looks like little cuts.
. Pinky raw on sides white in center and hurts to swallow. Recently have taken a half of generic Vicodin and the other half today. Have been taking antihistamines at night for ear ache,
Thank you, Sandy

Hello Sandy,
You seem to have mucositis and dryness because of Antihistaminics
You must take plenty of water and discuss with your ENT specialist to change the antihistaminic.
In addition-
i will prescribe you a gargle-but u will have to make on ur own----
liq. lignocaine 1 bottle+Tab. betnesol forte 4 tablets+Clotrin mouth paint
mix all three and shake it and use it for gargle 2 tsf three times a day,,but do spit it ,,,donot swallow it.
Multivitamins
Betadine gargle 2 tsf in half glass of water for gargle three times a day,,spit it after gargle.
write back after 5 days.
