Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
There's really no way to know unless we were educated in oral health and had a good chance to examine your mouth. This could to be ANYTHING from an on-going oral yeast infection to herpes to severe bacteria overgrowth to a symptom of HIV. Having sores in your mouth coupled with the yellowing sounds pretty severe though. If your tongue did not have the "deep cut" until a few years back then something major may be going on within your mouth.
The best advice really is to make an appointment with your local dentist and describe the problem as the reason for the visit. Let the nurse know your symptoms when making the appointment. A dentist IS a doctor and has gone to school for years so that they can help you. They would be able to look at your mouth and make an educated judgement, take samples for testing, and prescibe you some medication to keep this cleared up. The longer you let this go, the more harm it may do. Sometimes infections can spread from the mouth, down the throat, and in the stomach if they are severe enough or left for long periods of time.
Look in the phone book and choose a dentist. Call around and ask for the soonest appointment you can get so that you can restore your health. This isn't something that Advicenators can specifically can help with, but, then again, this isn't something someone ONLINE can help with without being able to exam the problem area.
I hope that all goes well and the doctor/dentist is able to treat you before things get worse.
