What Causes Dry Mouth, Swollen Tongue With Deep Ridges, Eye Redness And Fatigue?

Background: 14 days ago I suffered from severe dry mouth. In the past 4 days I have had swollen tongue with deep ridges along the sides and top. It has a burning feeling and is red in color. I do suffer from red eyes, fatigue. This is not a medicine allergies as I have been on the same meds for 2 years. It has become quite uncomfortable. It did bleed in one spot on top this evening when I touched it with my toothbrush. Do you have any Ideas as to what is causing this? I am a 56 yr. old female.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern.

The condition as per your history is suggestive of fungal infection, because of dry mouth and may be the medication you are taking (antibiotics) can lead to fungal infection.

You need to visit a doctor (dental surgeon) to get it properly evaluated.

During mean time you can apply clotrimazole 1% mouth paint three to four times a day.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further queries.

Regards
Dr Muzaffar Hussain Parray.
