My tongue kills after eating a pineapple... what should I do?
Question:
Answers:
Try drinking a hot beverage like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. My tongue used to get very sensitive and bleed after eating sour candy or citrusy fruits but then I drank hot cocoa and it soothed my tongue. My tongue felt better and stopped hurting.
Oh and one time after eating a mango my tongue was very sore and pained me for three days. Then, a few days later a canker sore showed up along with swollen lymph nodes. My doctor told me sometimes citrusy fruits cause MINOR allergic reactions, even if you have no known allergies.
But I still eat citrusy fruits and no allergies. Still, try the hot beverage thing! It soothes.
stop eating it
stop eating pineapple idiot
Pineapple is very acidic. You can continue rinsing out your mouth. It will pass. Next time eat less at one time.
ur condition is called "geographic tongue" I also have it- its just when I eat foods that are high in acid like pineapple, too much catsup, etc. my tongue gets sore for about a day so i just watch what i eat- there isnt anything really u can do about it besides watch what u eat
u can try ambesol on ur tongue to numb the pain
Mine does that too, it's because it's acidic (citrus like).
Just don't eat as much of it.. maybe as a treat eat 1/2 a cup.
i tell my kids the same thing ... then dont do it .
DONT EAT IT
just stop eating pinapple.
but when it burns try some mouthwash
eat some ice chips or chew gum or something
I would stop eating pinapple and maybe mouthwash would help or just like swish water in your mouth!
Are you eating fresh pineapple or canned? They're both pretty acidic, but if you are eating fresh, there's enzymes in it that makes it even worse. Try switching to canned because usually the enzymes break down from being stuck in a can all day.
drink milk. I've never tried it but ive never had that problem. but i do know that pineapples are acidic and milk is a base(the oposite of an acid) so thisd thould maybe controdict the acid.
I would try some dairy, if it doesn't work... either stop eating pineapple or learn to like pain!
