I have painful white patches on my tongue and am using Kenacort gel. What could be causing this problem, and is this treatment enough, or should I try something else?

White painful patches on the tongue can appear from mouth ulcers, fungal infection, irritation from sharp teeth, vitamin deficiency, acidity, smoking, stress, or repeated rubbing against the tongue. Sometimes the surface turns white because the irritated skin becomes inflamed or covered with a coating during healing. Pain while eating spicy food or talking is also common when the tongue lining becomes sensitive. Kenacort gel can help reduce pain and inflammation if the problem is mainly due to ulcers or irritation inside the mouth. Many people get temporary relief with it, but it may not work well if the white patches are caused by fungal infection or another underlying oral condition. Keeping the mouth clean, drinking enough water, and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and very spicy foods may help recovery. If the patches keep returning, spread slowly, become thick, or stay for a long time without healing, consulting a dentist or oral specialist may help identify the exact cause and decide whether different treatment is needed.
