Your mouth may be: TOO DRY!!  Yes dry mouth (made worse by some medications!!) may be the cause of halitosis or bad breath!  Ask your dentist for recommendations for preparation which will help moisten the mucous membranes of your mouth!

: So what are you waiting for. You need to see a Physician for a complete medical history, review of all Neds, prescription, OTC, recreational, lab tests, imaging. This is not a diagnosis/treatment site. It is a general information site. Start with a General Practitioner. You may need referral to Cardiologist, Internist, ENT, Pulmonologist, or other specialist(s). Start process working. See a doctor

Question 5

can geographic tongue cause acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

No: A geographic tongue does not cause acid reflux from the stomach.  A geographic tongue is probably not capable of causing stomach symptoms... but that doesn't mean a person can't have stomach symptoms and have a geographic tongue at the same time.

Question 6

please tell me, could a green tongue be due to acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Gastric reflux can influence the look of the surface of the tongue as it results in acids in the mouth that don't normally belong there.  Different foods and medications can also influence tongue surfaces.

Question 7

does acid reflux cause dry tongue and bitterness?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes: It will not cause a dry tongue but may a cause bitter taste.  Over a period of time untreated acid reflux may dissolve the outer layer, enamel, of the teeth.

Question 8

can acid reflux cause tongue to burn and bumps to form on the base?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I've never heard of this happening.  While i suppose it's possible, i doubt this is what's causing your burning tongue.

Question 9

cheeks and under both sides of tongue sour/bitter all the time. irritation/swelling and thick whiteness in back of tongue. could this be acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Whiteness tongue: If the white areas on the tongue are like cottage cheese and wipe off and under them is a reddish base, you could  have candida  oralis. This can be easily treated with an antifungal.   Reflux would have other symptoms like acid brash (acid taste on the throat after eating when you burp and you almost throw up acidic fluid). Try brushing your tongue both sides and the top (dorsum).  Might help.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Many causes: yes acid reflux can cause a white tongue but it as also accompanied by other symptoms like heartburn.  white tongue can be cause also by medications, mouth bacteria or yeast and bad oral hygiene.
