Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
About mid day I stopped to order a froste at Wendy s drive through. I was surprise when I could not give my order clearly, and the words chocolate and other words were not clear. It was almost like trying talk with an ice cube was causing me to slur and mispronounce my words yet I had had nothing other than Mexican food luch some minutes before. I barely got the order out and drove home and told my wife. We chose to go to the Emergency Clinic (Methodist on hwy 6), vitals OK, but they insisted on an C? not MRI to see if the numbness in my jaw and left side of my face to my eye was due to a mini strake. That was negative. They wanted me to go to their hospital in an ambulance for other tests, I refused and came home to see my doctor tomorrow. 6 hours later speech has improved still slight numbness.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of slurred speech. Condition like sinusitiscan cause such problem which may also cause nose blockage and nose blockage is also a sign of difficulty in breathing or less of breath. It could be due to asthmadry mouth and lead to thinning of mucosa inside mouth causing irritation, inflammation, soreness and discomfort leading to Stomatitis and Glossitis. I would advice you to get your sinus x ray done and consult your physician to find proper diagnosis and then start treatment as per that. Doctor may also refer you to dentist or speech specialist. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. Drink glass of hot milk with half tea spoon of turmeric powder and one spoon of honey.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
