13|f|virgin guys i dont have like AIDS or something [ sorry if this is long ]
ok. today i got this really dry | sore throat so i got a drink and it helped with the dryness but not the soreness. and i have naturally large tonselles [sp?] but ive never had strep throat so the doctor wont remove them , but i decided to take a look in my mirror + my tounge was blackish [ewwiee] some bumps toward the back , my tonsells [sp?] are bigger , and the dangly thing is really short. so i was like well , i had chiesee so i brushed my teeth and the blackish stuff came off. but my tounge then turned white. i also had this sore throat thing earler this year and the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. but i had it over the summer too. and he said it was just a sore throat. but im starting to wonder. i told my mom and she gave me some mouth wash [ i ran out of mine ] but it didnt help.. she said she'll look tommorow. but im afraid something serious is happneing here. please help me.

But honestly you should see a doctor to make sure everything thing is ok, it is better safe than sorry! And yeah...stop kissing the boyfriend till you know what is wrong! I wish you luck!
Exquisitechick answered Saturday February 3 2007, 12:16 am: That doesnt sound too good. I would go to Wal mart or a store near you and get a tongue scrapper...Yes, there is a such thing and it works. After you use it, make sure to gargle with water. You can also try gargling with sea salt. If none of these work i would seriously go to the doctors to make sure everythings okay. I would for the meantime stop kisssing youre boyfriend, just to be on the safe side.
