Oral pathology.
I have white tiny sharp growth on the tongue.I have this growth for few months now. It's tiny sharp which is rising up from the top of the tongue.
I noticed some red patches on my tongue which is on the side of the tongue on both sides. It's painful and burning. It's like thick red patches and I noticed this today only. It's on both sides. It's painful and sore constantly.
I had some hot meal 2 days ago. I am not sure if it's because of that or something related to my tongue white thing.
I have to wait for my appointment and this is making me really nervous.
Any thoughts anyone if this is sinister.
Big patch of redness on the side of the tongue beyond the molar tooth. I couldn't open wider beyond this to see it. I have chronic jaw pain and limited opening. I couldn't see the patches clearly behind this.
It's very painful and sore. is this something like oral cancer?

Hello
The history that you have provided has some points of concern. You must immediately get a consult done to have a closer look and assess other symptoms. Only a physical consult will work in this case and you may need to get some Xrays done as well. Prefer to visit an Oral surgeon or an Oral medicine specialist or visit a dental hospital. You have not mentioned about any history of alcohol or tobacco/cigarette use.
Next Steps
Physical visit to a specialist

Since you have mentioned about taking a hot meal 2 days before , it would most likely be due to traumatic injury . You can apply ulcer gel and avoid hot , spicy food .
