So this is my first time visiting this board.. and I have this very randome pain in my tounge... its like I pulled the muscle in it.. it hurts the most towards the back, and the pain is worst when I swollow and when I cough (which i have been doing lately) I cant seem to find anything about tounge pain, except on biting, and on Riboflavin Defic.... Which I dont think is it.

Im currently not taking any vitamins, and am on Azmacort and Albuterol for Asthma. I went off both for about two week because I had the flu, and they seemed to make me worse.. I started coughing bad a few days ago,a nd started up the Azmacort the other day, and it seemed thats when the pain started...

my mom thinks i "sprianed" it, hacking all night, but I dont know, Im kinda scared!

Well, the tongue is basically just a mass of muscle, so I suppose it's possible to strain a muscle in your tongue... Have you been rinsing your mouth after using the azmacort? It's possible that it's thrush (an oral yeast infection).

No, I didnt know I was supposed to wash my mouth out after using the azmacort! Maybe its a yeast infection... I should prolly make am appointment with my Dr..... its just weird...

Yeah.. I've never had thrush. But I guess you get this whitish coating on your tongue and it hurts. Your doctor will give you a prescription for a mouth rinse that will take care of it.

You should rinse out your mouth after using any corticosteroid inhaler, like azmacort. Your doctor should have told you that, so don't feel bad if you didn't know.
