I have two small bumps under my tongue. They’ve been there for more than a week and still look about the same. I’m not sure what they are and was looking for help identifying them.
I’ve also been having a lot of dry mouth with these indents of my teeth on my tongue and cheeks, as well as buildup on my tongue. I guess it might be medication related but my provider didn’t give me any guidance. Eating things sort of feels like it’s burning and when I brush my tongue it bleeds. He told me if it doesn’t stop to come back for an antifungal before my next six month visit. Stuff also feels caught in my throat. I’m guessing it’s thrush but he didn’t say? The tongue stuff goes back two years or so.
I drink tons of water and run a humidifier but I still feel super dry. I don’t drink or smoke but I do have POTS, and am on midodrine, florinef, and propanolol for that. Only other meds are truvada, atomoxetine, and trazedone.
Would love any help figuring out what’s going on.
