Response from Dr. Reznik
 Yes that is the picture of my tongue. I went for about a week without brushing my tongue and due to the medications I take for sinus problems I also have dry mouth. This is not a pretty picture, but again, coated tongue is not an opportunistic oral infection of HIV, it is just an overgrowth of bacteria on the tongue related to dry mouth, smoking, alcohol consumption, etc. After returning to my normal oral hygiene practices, I am happy to report that my tongue looks a whole lot better these days! Take care, DR |
