I have white on my tongue and it hurts...what can this be?

Question

About 2 days ago from the middle of my tongue to the back was/is hurting. It feels like its raw in other words. Today I saw that half of my tongue in various spots(some larger than other) that there was a white-ish type coating on my tongue too. I brushed it,and used the tongue scrubber thing on the tooth brush and got most of it off but there is some that just wouldn't come off no matter how much I scrubbed and brushed and used mouthwash. I'm also 7 months pregnant,so I'm not sure if this is some effect of hormone imbalance or something,as it never happened with any of my 4 other pregnancies.Can anyone help me figure out what this is? I don't have an appointment for another 3 days at my OB,so any help would be appreciated as it gets rather uncomfortable to eat or drink anything other than water and sometimes even that is hard to get down. It constantly feels like there is something in the back of my throat and when I eat or drink it only makes that feeling worse.
Also~ I only have one sex partner and that's my husband,its been that way since I was 16 and now I'm 26. I haven't went down on him either.Just putting that out there for those who feel like commenting vulgar,rude,nasty comments...you will be reported if you do so as well. thanks for any help.

You might have a few canker sores. Althought there is no actual cause usually saucy and acidic foods make your mouth more prone to getting them. Having a large amount of white on your tongue can also mean fungus (no worries though, it's not a dangerous fungus) all it really does is cause bad breath. It just means there's more bacteria on your tongue than usual. You can use medicine to cure and numb the pain of canker sores and there's special mouth wash for the fungus. Hope all works out :3
