Has anybody here ever had a hair growing from the roof of your mouth?

[lastlib]

For the past few months, I have constantly had that weird feeling of a hair tickling my tongue, and no matter what I do, I can't get it to slide forward where I can get my fingers on it and pull it out. It won't move. When I look into my mouth in a mirror, I see something that could be a hair, going all the way up to the roof, but I can't get hold of it. It's maddening!! Has anybody else had something like this? Is it even possible? How do I get rid of this thing??

1. Dr time

You can't be sure it's a hair even it it looks like one.
When in doubt check it out.

3. What else could it be?

7. The roof of your mouth does not have hair follicles

it just doesn't.

If there is something unusual growing or embedded in the roof of your mouth which is not coming out on its own the "what else could it be" is the reason why people go to medical school.

8. When were you last at a dentist for an exam or cleaning? They often examine mouth and tongue

Did they notice anything?

14. In my nearly 60

years Ive learned to never second guess a Dr. no matter what something looks like, have a growth checked.

2. Make an appointment with an ENT doc now, please

That's ear, nose and throat. It could be as simple as a thin, flexible fish bone or it could be complicated. You need to find out.

This is something that could be very serious and you need to go to a Doctor as soon as possible.

11. A long time ago, maybe 40 years

I got a bad Infection and was taking medication for it. I developed a hairy tongue. I don't remember if it was the medicine or the infection. Good news it went away.

15. That would be thrush.

It's yeast caused from the antibiotics. It can be disturbing and painful but it's very treatable.

12. OMG! A hair growing from the roof of your mouth is the first sign of

a very rare form of hoof and mouth disease. It is usually brought on from hanging around too many fur bearing creatures for extended periods of time.

(Just kidding)

13. No but one time a hare got stuck in my teeth.

18. Ok here's my TMI. In Sept I had micro surgery to replace a

calcified stapes in my right ear which is the reason I've been half deaf for 15 years. In the process the ENT has to disturb a nerve which supports taste sensations of the tongue. I have had the weirdest taste sensations especially on the right side of my tongue ever since. They say it can take weeks, months, years to correct itself. Lately though, I keep thinking I can feel a tiny hair on the right tip of my tongue. Try to remove it- it's not there. I've been choosing to believe it's a sign of improvement in my case, but I think you should get it checked out. By the way- I got my hearing BACK!!!

19. It's probably all in your head...

But really, get it checked out. There are people who do that sort of work for a living.
