Hello,

I can understand your concern. The heaviness you are feeling in the tongue and jaw can be due to an allergic reaction to a substance that you are not aware of. Swallowing difficulty can be due to tongue swelling.

I would advise you to start with antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) or Loratidine 10 mg (Lorfast) once a day for 5-7 days.

In addition, feeling sour taste can be due to gum disease and may indicate that you require scaling or professional cleaning of gums by the dentist or dental hygienist.

However, if you do not feel better after starting antihistamine, I would advise you to visit a dentist for clinical examination of the oral cavity and investigate the cause further.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
