Suggest Treatment For Sore Tongue
Advised to run further tests as following...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Having a sore throat, enlarged taste buds and general irritation persisting for several weeks are signs of possible oral infection. As this has been going on for several weeks, I think it's time to run some tests like
- oral swab culture (for bacteria, strep, candida)
- complete blood count
- ENT examination
If you are also having burning sensation in your chest, or pain in the stomach, I'd suggest to run upper endoscopy and a good GI consultation to exclude stomach issues like gastritis/acid reflux or ulcer.
For the moment, continue with keeping good oral hygiene as you are doing until you get the tests done.
Hope it was of help.
