What Causes Burning And Swelling Of Tongue?
I am 63, about 2 weeks ago my tongue was sore (like I had a pimple on it). Now the inside of my mouth feels like it's burning, swollen tongue, sore throat, lots of salivia and i am not a juicy person. the burny part of my mouth has spend to the inside of my lower lip and is moving to the other side of my mouth. there are no ulcers, but it looks like a pimple with a yellowish center, small as the head of a pin. No fever and I don't have time to get sick. Had a flu shot a week ago and have been using Voltaren Gel on arthrituc joints. I have osteo arthritus all over. I would rather not go to the dr unless I have to. I started using warm salt water solution....no change so far. Thank you very much

Hello
Use a vitamin B complex tab daily and soem local anaesthetic ointment.
If no relief after one week go see a doctor.
check your sugar level and make sure it is under control.
