Scalloped tongue

2018-03-07 00:59:57
I have been diagnosed with pharyngitis acute unspecified. Because I had a fever. And, ever since I’ve had what I believe is a scalloped tongue. I’ve been taking antibiotics and I feel better, but I still have a scalloped tongue which isn’t painful at all, it just looks so weird and I’m not used to it.

Though your question is not very clear I think you are having geographical tongue after an attack of bacterial throat infection. Usually no specific treatment is required for this condition and may resolve on its own within few days to month
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
