A member asked:

I have white rings on my tongue that make it sore and i'm taking ranitidine for it. is that ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Geographic tongue: White rings on your tongue could just be a natural phenomenon caused by shedding of the tongue's brush border which occasionally can be painful. Taking ranitidine for it is not an indication for the drug.
