What Causes Pain And Yellow Tinge In Tongue?

Hi, I am 19 year old female. I woke up the other day with a painful tongue, I took a look and there was a couple on places that looked like holes on my tongue! The pain disapeared over a period of two days. But the holes still are there and kinda looks like a crack going down the middle of my tongue. Then noticed a yellowish tint. Now I am a smoker and very afraid of whats going on. I can t afford to go to a doctor right now, so opinions are needed.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that sore holes over the tongue along with pain and yellowish tinge and crack on the middle of tongue seems to be due to Apthous Stomatitis leading to inflammation inside mouth and along with it there seems to be apthous ulcers or canker sores..

It can occur due to causes like deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, side effects of medications.physical trauma to the tongue, allergies, acid reflux etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests can help in diagnosis..
Treatment of underlying cause will relieve the symptoms..
As of now you can start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve the symptoms.
You can also take a multivitamin tablet daily..
You can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Suck ice and do cool water rinses..
Avoid spicy food..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
