Ok, this is a weird one!

[vickster]

Weird ailment alert (no nothing like that @Fnaar )... I have an extremely sore and spotty tongue!

I developed a sensitivity to strawberries in the last few years which causes a sore tongue and stuffy nose so I have to unfortunately avoid the fruit, although I seem to be ok with strawberry things like yoghurt.

However,I haven't eaten a strawberry for months, but I did have an underripe mango on Sunday and today I had some dried apricots and almost immediately my tongue went odd and painful!! Underripe bananas can also make my tongue sore. I am very fond of most fruits apart from those nasty green, hairy kiwi things!

Now before I go to the quack for allergy testing, does anyone else suffer from fruit sensitivity?! It seems to be really bad right now I have been taking strong antibiotics for my leg infection, but stopped those last Thursday, maybe a link?

Cheers for any insight

Ok, might have worked this out...grrrrrr

There are loads of tongue related things out there. Most common is a lack in vitamins or calcium something like that. What it sounds like is that you tongue is having an adverse affect with the acids in the fruit.
Check out this link mate see if it helps?

I once came out in a rash with antibiotics so wonder if it could still be an effect from them?

Cheers. I think it may be oral thrush...GP tomorrow!

Hehehe how do you get that?

Hiya, stop eating them until you have been checked by a doctor as it sounds like you are becoming allergic to them, the last thing you need is to take a full anaphylactic reaction.

Does the tongue get swollen? or is it just feeling odd and sore?
Any itching sensation anywhere else?

Stop eating what? Strawberries, yes I have

I was wondering whether it might be related to that nasty leg bump you had a couple of weeks back. I won't ask for pics of your tongue!

Stop eating any fruit for now maybe? GWS!

My first reaction is to suspect glandular fever. Spots on my tongue were the first symptom I had, before the very worst sore throat in all history. Extreme lethargy was the next one. Get to your doctor ASAP.

i had oral thrush and it lasted 8 months . treatment not nice or very tasty . still comes on regularly so just ignore it now . yeast based products seem to set it off

I once had hand, foot and mouth disease and went to work with a spotty toungue before it started to come out around my mouth. I have to get children ready for school and nursery in the morning so don't usually look in the mirror or make any attempts to pretty myself up so hadn't spotted it. Luckily my colleagues were nice and tactful about pointing it out .
