Hi all,
I thought I had canker sore or sores on the back of my tongue as every swallow for 7 days today KILLS me with pain. I went to the dentist and he said I have NO canker sores. (maybe there is one further back that he cannot see?!) So I went to my family doctor and he just chalked it up to a virus. He did a throat culture and it was negative.
I just never had pain like this on one side before. It feels like strep throat but my throat is healthy pink looking. My tongue even looks fine but when I eat or drink or yawn or swallow my own saliva oh my does it HURT. :weep: Maybe I caught an odd virus or something, I don't know. I am scared thinking it is lingual tonsil cancer or tongue cancer. :weep:
Has anyone else had anything like this? Tongue pain on one side only for 7 days today. It feels like an odd infection or something. No fever and no swollen glands.
Thank you kindly. :flowers:

P.S. I am seeing my ENT Friday for a scope down my throat in his office.
