A member asked:

I had a partial thyroidectomy 5 months ago and started having an orange tongue after. i also have indigestion all the time. what could be happening?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Get Checked Out: See your doc & share these things with her/him. This warrants further evaluation. It may not be related to the partial thyroidectomy but should be checked out nonetheless.

Infection?: You'll need to be evaluated for a infection of the tongue. It may not be related to the thyroid surgery but you need to have thyroid tests.
