Suggest Medication For Painful Ulcers In Mouth
A couple of weeks ago I noticed an ulcer on the right side of my tongue quite far back towards the base. At first I just thought it was an ulcer. Every time my tongue moved or the side brushed up against my teeth I would feel quite a sharp pain that was really REALLY sore. But I just brushed it aside as ulcers being sore.
But a week ago I noticed that the right side of my throat had become swollen and swallowing had become painful. I kept thinking that it was weird that my tongue was sore and the soreness had now spread down to my throat.
I just left it thinking that my mouth was just irritated by the whole ulcer thing but now I have been getting pain in my ear and swallowing food/moving my tongue hurts like hell. And now I have just noticed while typing this that a white spot has appeared on the right side of my uvula (the dangly thing in your mouth).
I've made an appointment with my doctor and everything, but i'm really worried and just wondering if anyone else has experienced this themselves?
I am a 22 year old relatively healthy female that doesn't smoke and drinks socially (but not all that much).
