I just don't know what to do. I have been dealing with this sensation for 2 months now. It all came about after Covid. Again, I do not have covid now but for the past 2 months I have this sensation in the back of my throat? Or maybe its the back of my tongue? And I have just been ignoring it but all of the sudden now I am freaking out about it. UGH!!! Anxiety sucks. Do I have cancer? Do I have swelling? What if it closes my throat off? Is there a growth there? I don't know what doctor could help. Its like its a sensation only. I don't see anything wrong but you can't really see that far in your throat. I have not found anyone with this same symptom. Maybe I just don't know how to google it? What terms to use. I am freaking out here. UGH!!!
I just don't know what type of doctor to see. My general doctor, my dentist, or an ENT doctor. I don't want to waste my time or theirs going to the wrong one. Here is my weird symptom and it is my only symptom. I had Covid the beginning of July and ever since I have been feeling this weird sensation on the back of my tongue or maybe my throat? I can't tell. I can't see anything weird. What the sensation is - its like I have a hair or tiny hairs on the back of my tongue. No problems eating or swallowing. So My question is - can a regular practitioner look back there and tell anything. Or is that more of a ENT or dentist thing. I have tried gargling listerine. It didn't help. It is not painful. Just irritating because its just always there. Just a sensation.
