It sounds like you have a burn on your tongue from the hot water you drank four days ago. While minor burns usually heal on their own within a week or two, the red objects you're seeing and the bitter taste suggest a more serious burn that may require medical attention. Here's what you can do: seek professional help: consult a doctor or dentist: it's important to get your tongue checked by a medical professional to assess the severity of the burn and rule out any potential infections. They can provide proper treatment and advice on managing the pain and discomfort. Home remedies for mild burns: cool down the burn: rinse your mouth with cool water or suck on ice chips to ease the burning sensation. Avoid hot liquids and foods which can further irritate the burn. Pain relief: over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage the pain and inflammation. Salt-water rinse: mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth several times a day. This can help reduce swelling and infection. Honey: applying a thin layer of honey to the burn can promote healing and provide some pain relief. However, avoid honey if you have diabetes or any allergies. Avoid spicy or acidic foods: these can irritate the burn and aggravate the discomfort. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush your teeth gently and floss regularly to prevent infection. Remember: if the red objects on your tongue appear white or yellow, it could be a sign of infection and needs immediate medical attention. If the pain worsens, you develop a fever, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Don't try to burst any blisters that may form on your tongue. Let them heal naturally to avoid scarring. It's important to prioritize your health and seek professional help for proper diagnosis and treatment. Following these recommendations and getting medical advice can help ensure your tongue heals quickly and comfortably.

Always consult with your doctor or dentist for any medical concerns.

Almost every person has some degree of bad breath upon waking in the morning (this is called morning breath) and is easily eliminated by brushing the teeth. It is only when bad breath progress after brushing ones teeth that a diagnosis of halitosis can be made. Halitosis is often caused by a mouth or throat infection or in response to a food item in one’s diet. The main food culprit is garlic which can often be easily counteracted by eating parsley. Oral health conditions can also cause bad breath and are responsible for the development of halitosis in 85-90% of bad breath sufferers. Severe diets which restrict carbohydrate intake such as ketogenic diets are also responsible for the development of bad breath. Certain anatomical deviations such as corrugations or striations in the tongue do allow for the accumulation and growth of bacteria in the oral cavity. Certain foods foods such as garlic, onions and spicy foods etc. Cause foul smelling breath after eating them. These foods are absorbed into the bloodstream, transferred into the lungs and become expelled in the air you breathe. Regular eating of such foods is likely to cause halitosis. People who diet are more likely to develop unpleasant breath from infrequent eating. You also get direct expulsion of these gases from your digestive tract. Poor oral health care without proper and regular brushing, flossing and routine examinations by your dentist, food remains in the mouth causing bacteria to multiply and produce toxic waste which in turn causes breath odor. Food stuck on the teeth, gums, and tongue creates an environment where bacteria can feed and multiply. These bacteria release certain chemicals as a by-product which causes damage and decay of the gums and teeth. The chemicals that are released by the bacteria and the resulting decay in the mouth contribute to the bad breath. Improper cleaning of dentures dentures that are not cleaned properly may be collecting bacteria and food particles which cause bad breath. Periodontal disease one of the primary symptoms of periodontal gum disease is foul, odorous breath, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. This condition requires immediate care by an oral health professional. Dry mouth (xerostomia) this condition is often a large contributor to halitosis. It occurs when the flow of saliva decreases. Saliva is required to cleanse the mouth and remove particles that may cause odor. Xerostomia may be caused by certain medications, a salivary gland disorder, or by continuously breathing through the mouth instead of the nose. Tobacco products not only do tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco and snuff stain the teeth and put the body at risk for a host of other diseases, they also contribute to bad breath. Tobacco products cause bad breath, stained teeth, reduces one's ability to taste foods and irritates the gum tissue. Tobacco users are more likely to suffer from periodontal disease and are at greater risk for developing oral cancer. Medical condition bad breath may be an indication or symptom of any of the following conditions. However, each individual may experience different symptoms such as: a respiratory infection infection of the nose, windpipe, or lungs chronic bronchitis post nasal drip chronic sinusitis diabetes gastrointestinal disorders liver or kidney disorders severe dieting dieters may develop unpleasant "fruity" breath from keto-acidosis which is due to the breakdown of chemicals during fasting. Restriction of caloric intake leads to hunger which can lead to a dry mouth. Factors that affect the airways and cause bad breath: nasal polyps foreign bodies sinusitis dryness bronchitis pneumonia factors that affect the esophagus and stomach and cause bad breath: gastritis and food reflux (gerd- gastro-esophageal reflux disease) stagnation of food for medication consult online in private.

Hello lybrate-user, I can certainly understand your concern. Need not worry the pill called azithromycin is an antibiotic and when crushed it would lead to severe bitter taste when touched on your tongue and palate. We have permanent treatment in homoeopathy with minute globules which are sweet as medicines. Kindly book a consultation for the same. You can also watsapp me on mobile for any concerns.
