Coated Tongue Mar 30, 2000 Dr. Reznik: Im HIV+ and I have coated tongue (white). I have been brushing my tongue with a solution of 50% water and peroxide. It seems to be better at least in appearence. My question is: Should I brush my tongue every day or how often? Thanks for your answer F.J. Los Angeles CA. |

Response from Dr. Reznik
 Dear F.J.: You should brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth. I would recommend against using a 50% hydrogen peroxide solution and suggest that you use Peroxyl, a diluted, *flavored* antiseptic rinse that is available in most drug stores or pharmacies. DR |
