Hello everyone,
Hope everyone is well today and having a nice weekend. Just come quick updates on my yellow tongue, advice would be appreciated.
Now I brush and scrape my tongue every morning and night i wouldn't say its mega yellow like some of the mad pics on the net, more like this lovely tongue i found: http://www.orabrush.com/blog/yellow-coated-tongue/
The yellowness seems to develop though the day and over night.
I know, lovely...
So i'm trying to sort it out and not run to the Doctors as its probably nothing, stuff i have heard which can cause it are:
Open mouth breathing - i jog about three times a week and mouth breath whilst doing it, but i get it when i haven't jogged.
Mouthwash - Some types of mouthwash i have stopped using, this hasn't really seemed to help at the mo.
anti-depressants - now this is interesting as another symptom of yellow tongue is dehydration and reading through my side effects list from my fluoxetine i can see dry mouth is a symptom. Although I wouldn't say i feel like I've got a dry mouth antidepressants could possible be the cause.
Smoking/Tea/Coffee: I stopped smoking a while ago and drink tea and coffee in moderation just to see if it is the drinks, it doesn't seem to be.
One last thing, last night I had a few glasses of red wine and this stained my tongue but only over the area which normally gets stained yellow (Right at the back and down the sides). Not majorly stained but reddy/blueish.
Maybe i my tongue is easy to stain or summin... ahwell. Any advice or knowledge on the subject would be great.
If you've got to this part, thanks for reading the rant! :D
