What kind of tests have you had?
If anyone has similar symptoms as me (see pictures in the link below) please reply. Main symptoms are a white coated tongue (all over the tongue except the tip) and swollen tastebuds at the border tip of the tongue that are sore sometimes.

Symptoms started about 4 months after receiving unprotected oral sex from a girl of unknown status. I have this tongue problem for over a year now.

Sorry to hear of your dilema. I too have some serious issues with my mouth and the first 2 doctors were not helpful at all. I saw a dermatologist and he made some suggestions and I will follow up with him. I am also going to see the dentist. I would go with an article that describes your symptoms as "proof" that they should test you for this. Any kind of documentation will be helpful to prove that you are not "imagining" this. I hope all goes well.

Since December 2016 after kissing a girl who went on to tell me her ex gave her hpv. I developed a soar throat that night. A week later followed soar bumps on the tip of my tongue then my tongue developed a white coating on it. 2 months later I developed tiny bumps on my soft palate then Xerostomia . I saw an oral pathologist who ran all kinds of blood tests auto immune, vitamin deficiency, HIV, syphilis, HSV1, HSV2, HSV5 Citomegalovirus, oral DNA HPV, viral swab tests coxsackie enturovirus, HSV1, HSV2, Candida Yeast, and bacterial culture tests all came back negative. Saw an E.N.T. who scoped my throat and didn't see anything serious. I was taking steroid oral mouth rinse that the oral pathologist gave me for what he called inflamed papula. Didn't work and my tongue was burning for months throat was soar and my soft palate was painful as well as a dry mouth. In March of 2017. I saw another ear nose throat specialist who scoped me again and he said he saw acid reflux burning my throat. He prescribed Proton pump inhibitors Dexilant 40mg twice daily and a steroid mouth rinse. When I took the PPI I felt relief from the burning tongue almost instantly but I couldn't tolerate the medication so I discontinued use. I went to see a gastroenduroligyst and had an endoscopy done. he found a small hiatel hernia 2cm and a mild case of Gerd but didn't believe my symptoms in my oral cavity were related. I went back to the ENT and he gave me a different PPI NEXIUM. I only felt about a 50% improvement on Nexium but my symptoms were all still there. I went on to see an Oral Medicine specialist who said I had come in contact with Coxsackie enterovirus and she prescribed anti viral medication as well as gabapentine and clorazapam. I saw an infectious desease specialist who told me she doesn't believe I have a viral infection and to focus on my gut. She also stated if it's HPV there is no way of testing for it on the oral cavity you just have to wait for an outbreak.my symptoms are all still here after 10 months and I'm seeing a new GI for a second opinion.

The gastroenduroligyst performed a gastroscopy found a 2cm hiatel hernia, a lax sphincter and a mild case of Gerd. a ph test that showed severe reflux with swallowing motility issues. I'm now being referred to a thoracic surgeon.

Seems like we really aren't alone out there even though i feel like i am i have the same symptoms and every doctor i've gone to thinks i'm crazy as well, but i know I have something. Could be a mix from different things. So as I see my current next plan will be to boost my immune system to the max. I will be back if i find a solution. Hope yall do as well.
