Help! tongue pain!!?


Question:
i'm not sure if anyone will be able to help but before i go to the doctor i thought i'd get some opinions. ok for over a week now the front, top part of my tongue has been hurting like i burned it but i'm almost sure i didnt! also it started out not too bad and got progressively worse after a few days and it's been about the same for 5 days now and not getting any better! i feel like if it was something i ate it should be healing...? my taste buds look just a little bigger than usual but that's about all i can tell by looking...my tongue isn't discolored at all.
for a few days i've been using this orajel mouth rinse that says it helps heal canker sores and other mouth problems but it isn't helping at all. is there anything else i can do to help make this go away? and does anyone have an idea what could be causing it?!
ps. probably totally unrelated but i feel like my glands in my neck are a swollen.

Answers:
It could be thrush or mononucleosis.
sounds like a toothbrush injury. Tongues are sensitive to everything. You may not have noticed doing it. Try being real gentle for a bit to let it heal.
try to gargal with salt water befor you go to sleep but i think id go to the dr. after 5 days of it hurting like that
It might have to do with thyroid problems, I would seriously suggest you to contact your doctor.
