Possible post Infection sequel. Images are required for complete assessment

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your attached query in detail.

This looks like a post Infection sequel.

Can you please upload the photos/images of the oral cavity of yours for a better understanding of your symptoms? You can upload/attach the picture to the reports section of this webpage.

I will guide you thoroughly once I go through the images.

Awaiting..

Thank you

Unfortunately I can't afford to go and get these images.
All I can tell you further is that there is no irritation or discoloration
of my mouth. And that
my tongue feels as if I had burned it slightly but otherwise
seems normal in appearance. Does this suggest a possibility?
I'm sorry I cannot supply you with images.

I'm sorry, I see I have misunderstood your directions.
I will have to get back to this tomorrow, when I can download
the needed images. Thank you, Doctor
