Hello doctor,I am having issues with my tongue. I have pain on the back right side of my tongue which is making it very difficult to eat, swallow, and talk. Also, I have a slight fever (99.5) and my tongue appears to be white in color. The pain started three days ago.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You may have tonsillitis or so if you have an ulcer-like lesion on your tongue. Please attach a picture if possible. I suggest you take a painkiller for relief. Is the pain continuous or intermittent or comes only when you take food? Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week. You should see a dentist or an ENT surgeon as soon as possible. I can suggest better if I can see a picture of the area having pain. Touch the area and press there on the tongue. Is the area hard or swollen? Please describe.
