Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tongue grown bigger and hanging on left side which is mainly due to enlarged tonsillar lymph nodes which causing collection of fluids in sinuses as well leading to sinusitis. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing on daily basis. Do warm saline gargles. do rinses with Listerine antiseptic mouth wash. avoid hot, spicy food substances. You should take combination of anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antihistamine drugs. Visit otorhinolaryngologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get fibrooptic scan done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You may need Lab investigations like CBC, sputum examination. Keep drinking plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
