Brief Answer:
Examination required

Detailed Answer:
I follow what you are saying.

Clearly, it would be helpful to have a medical doctor examine you, particularly the mouth.

Since the ENT appointment is further away, see if you can get in to see a dentist now. They are also qualified to give a fair idea of problems in the roof of the mouth.

When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:

CBC
Electrolytes
Calcium
HbA1c
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests
TSH
25 hydroxy Vitamin D
