Sore Tongue

[BicycleThieves]

Great year, first and foremost.

Spoken to a few people who have come home with the tip of their tongue being sore!?

This seems to happen to me after every festival I go to and judging from the people I have spoken to, I think it may be linked to over indulgence.

Anyone out their the same? Any ideas as to what it might be? I'd love to be able to eat again!

I have burnt lips.

My tounge is also feeling a bit crusty!

[Franco Baresi]

Swollen/Burnt lips, Tongue that feels likes it's been sand papered! ... Must be par for the course!

I have a massively swollen bottom lip, very sore and bleeding. Two others in my group of six with the same! Assume it is due to the sun!

If the consensus is that it is because of the sun, does anybody want to recommend me some nice tasting after sun!?

My mouth's fine, but this weekend I became a redneck.

It was all that goshdarned country music.

[Sofa]

Was it to many smokes?

[Jackmypie]

My legs still ache a bit.

I need to working on my chicken legs for next year. Standing still in the same spot is the worst.

This is the first festival in a while where I haven't returned with the sensation of a burnt tongue, it's also the first festival I've done completely drugs free and having made a conscious effort to smoke less - I'm gonna say MDMA and smoking are the common cause for me

i appear to have sunstroke. Have been in bed or running to the toilet for two days now.

My tongue is crispy from over indulgence. I wear it like a badge of honour.

My legs and back stood up well, I'd been walking 5-8 miles daily for the weeks running up to the festival to prepare and I had no issues at all there, feeling better by Sunday than I have in a couple of years. I'm going to keep up the walking.

Back of my tongue is ripped to shreds and sore as hell. Got no idea why, never happened before

[windy_miller]

I always get really dry and sore lips at Glasto. I think it is a combination of dehydration and being outside in the wind.

[APC]

Throat is raw, mostly from shouting I guess. And drinking loads. Had really grim hayfever leading up to Glasto which persisted until I actually used antihistimines on Thursday. Nose had been crusty and I had a good time picking it. Was basically blowing blood out after. It feels raw inside now but loads better than last week.

Never gumming md again, my mouth is like the inside of a crunchie.

[BicycleThieves]

Any recommended cures?

If I can't eat my nan's roast dinner later there will be hell to pay!

[nightcrawler13]

I've been going since 2004, all ways get what I call 'festival scurvy' by the end, though for the first time this year I seem to be okay...

I think it's a combo of dehydration, lack of nutrients, smoking and drinking acidic drinks like cider

buy some rehydration sachets from a chemist, mix with berroca and water and try to drink a lot of hot ginger, honey and lemon over the next week as well

[miss_renegade]

Mine's like this also, killed me eating salt and vinegar crisps today! Also my lips are fucked, reckon that's the sun.

[BicycleThieves]

I feel your pain. Its getting worse and now red raw where I'm subconsciously scraping it against my teeth for relief. Buying a gum shield tomorrow!

My Mum's lip swelled up and was filled with pus- she went up to the medical tent and they were calling it "jaggeritis" as so many people had it and they had absolutely no idea what it was. She was given antihistamines and steroids (8 tablets each morning!) but it still hasn't quite gone down!

[sanyo]

Feel your pain brutha. My tongue has been hurting since thursday. It hurt every time i ate at the festival

[dessie rascal]

Fruit pastille ice lollies sorted my obliterated tongue right out. Only just starting to feel normal again today!

[curts]

I got myself a sunburned bottom lip. On my second lot is blistex already!
