Suggest Treatment For Mucosal Injury Over Roof Of Mouth Causing Discomfort
Question: Whenever I eat, i have a feeling like rhe foid is stuck in my sinus cavity, like behind my pallette and up my nose. It is incredibly uncomfortable. Its as if the food is adhering to the back of my throat or something. It is XXXXXXX starting to cause a dore, raw feeling in my throat from constantly trying to cough up phlem to try to get the food out. I have gone to see both my GP and an ENT about this abd the best they can do is ssy that I may have GERD and prescribe me prilosec, which i have been on for a month now with no relief. The ENT did not see any masses or swelling. Do you have any idea what this could be or any idea what I could do to get some relief?
