[|Human|] My tongue suddenly swelled and woke me during the night. Benadryl eased the swelling but I developed a thick white coating on the whole tongue. This all happened yesterday. Today my tongue started peeling and is now bright pink and I cant really taste anything.
[|AI|]  Hello, Your symptoms are clearly indicative of oral yeast Infection or oral thrush. Thick white coating is due to thrush. Bright pink appearance is due to inflammation of tongue with damage and inflammation of tongue papillae that is causing loss of taste. You should consult an oral physician and get evaluated. For now, you can start gargling with Statin mouthwash that is an antifungal mouthwash and along with it suck Clotrimazole lozenges and take plenty of probiotics like yogurt and garlic.  Chat Doctor.  If the Infection does not clear, the physician can advise you oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole, Itraconazole, etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
