Sore and rashy tongue
Hey! I'm a 23 year old mixed race male. I'm about 72kg and 174cm tall. I went drinking on thursday and when i woke up on friday my tongue felt very sore. Eating and swallowing was very painful and it still is. It is now tuesday and my tongue has been developing a sort of a rash, and it looks a bit light brownish . I think i might have bitten it in my sleep and that is why it is sore, but the rash and color has got me a bit worried. Any advice is much appreciated

Going only by the description that you have mentioned it seems that you have had an injury to the tongue (traumatic or chemical or thermal or even infectious). Such rashes normally Heal within 7 to 10 days unless complicated by secondary factors. You can use anaesthetic ointments containing lignocaine or benzocaine for temporary symptomatic relief till that time. Maintaining good oral hygiene will prevent secondary infection to those rashes. If there is no improvement within 7 to 10 days you should visit dentist for a proper evaluation to rule out other factors which need to be treated objectively.
Regards.
