Sore On Side of Tongue And Sore Throat Posted: 12-13-07 17:19pm
I've got this sore on the side of my
tongue that hurts bad and has been there
for a few days now. I didn't bite my
tongue or anything so that can't be it.
It's not white/discolored either, just a
sore swollen spot. I also have a sore
throat, hurts to swallow, etc. Any idea
what this could be? I've heard a
combination of sore throat/sore tongue on
just one side can be tongue cancer...
As a side note, for about a year I've had
a white coat towards the middle/back of my
tongue. A tongue scraper gets it off but
it's back the next day.

The white stuff is probably candida
overgrowth (intestinal flora or yeast).
Totally normal. Why do you suspect that
it might be tongue cancer?
