Hi doctor, I have had this issue for two to three months now and my symptoms are changing. It started with my throat feeling like it was closing every now and again and between my ears and jaw was sore for weeks. My tongue feels swollen and irritated all the time with little red dots around the edges. My tongue also gets sore around the edges mostly in the morning. I have had blood test and after that one doctor told me it was in my head but my recent GP says it is definitely not. I cannot get to see a specialist due to this Covid-19 mess and my symptoms are worsening and now my throat around my glandular area is sore and throat feels restricted and swollen. I do not have trouble swallowing food or drink but just swallowing saliva sometimes gives a choking feeling. No one so far can tell me what is going on. Please help. I am currently on Pantoprazole 20 mg and Advil.
Hello. Having read through your symptoms I think, if any of doctors could not find any particular cause it might be what we call as burning mouth syndrome with globus sensation. It may be due to certain local conditions like ill fitting dentures, jagged sharp or carious teeth. It may occur due to acid reflux or in disease like diabetes. Even post nasal drip due to sinusitis can cause burning in mouth.Prolonged intake of any medicine can cause this. However, do you have any of these? Of these gastric acid reflux is often the most important cause. Do you smoke? Can you attach a picture of your throat and tongue lesions.
