A member asked:
I've got had these discolored patches on my tongue for days and its sore when i eat food. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allow 1 week to eval: You implied this condition is relatively short term (days). Short term irritations on the tongue can be the result of a burn or bite or a canker sore. All of the above conditions will resolve without treatment in one week. If the situation persists beyond that time a professional evaluation of the patches is necessary.
