Hey all,
After noticing my tongue had a yellow coating on it a few days back i began to act upon it.
I have started brushing it and scraping it (with a tongue scraper) and the yellow clears off quite a bit which is nice. Although it does seem to be coming back every morning, not as bad as it was when i discovered it but its annoying me.
Anyway i think this is somewhat a normal thing and nothing to panic about...BUT, its starting to get to me a little bit, and i don't want to return to my doctor as i'm pretty sure its nothing and i'm wasting his time.
The interesting development is i started using corsodyl mouthwash a about two weeks back, i read, first on the net then on the bottle that this can temporarily stain the tongue. Im obviously going to stop using it and see what happens because i'm sure i would of noticed if i had a yellow tongue before then.
So basically, has anyone had any experience with yellow tongue, mouthwash staining or anything to help me?
p.s. i read it can be caused by liver problems/jaundice etc. But i dont think i would be able to brush it away if that was the case + i have no other symptoms.
Sorry to go on! Cheers everyone! x
