<s>[INST] Ive had a issue with my tongue for several months.  Heat, redness on the tip and on both sides of the tongue its reddish/purple in color. No pain when I eat or drink, just my concern of why and what it is. I have had my dentist check for cancer and a PA at my primary doctor office. They seem to think its nothing I should worry about.  I have had problems with indigestion so the PA gave me three weeks worth of sample Nexium to take and see if this might help. Im now on my third week and it hasnt changed. [/INST] Hi.
