Sore Tongue And Throat

Question:

I got thrush for the last six months - my tongue and throat feel like they are on fire and my lips swell. My doctor gave me the usual drugs, but I had an adverse reaction to it. I am now on Nystatin lozenges, but they do not work. Since it began, I had an ear infection and sinus problems, too. Can you help me?

Answer:

I'm not sure you have thrush, as the symptoms you describe are different from those of a typical Candida or fungal infection related. In addition, anti-fungal nystatin tablets have not helped.

Typical thrush produce ulcers (sores) of the lining of the mouth, throat, lips and even the language. These can produce a whitish discharge. Any irritation of nerve endings ulcerated, whether physical (such as touch or heat) or chemical (with acidic, spicy or salty substances, or alcohol, for example) causes excruciating pain in order to eat , drink, talk and even brushing teeth is a nightmare.

Me think that your symptoms are more likely to come from one or several of following, which I suggest you discuss with your doctor as you may need tests: fermentation of yeast in the intestine with chronic gastritis acid regurgitation, sluggish liver, vitamin B deficiency and pernicious anemia.

When I studied medicine in Moscow, the dean of the Faculty of Medicine carried out extensive studies to show a link between certain telltale signs on the tongue and oral mucosa, and abnormal bowel the liver and general health of the patient. He told us: "Language is the mirror of your instincts and your inner world. From my experience, there is a clear correlation, although there is no clear explanation. Similarly, clubbed fingers, swollen at the end, are considered a sign of chronic inflammation of the lungs, intestines or the heart by mainstream physicians who accept it as a symptom to look at the physical examination, although there is still no scientific link. Again, white spots on fingernails may indicate a calcium deficiency or zinc, but no one knows why this affects some people and not others.

I would suggest a more widespread support your body systems, in particular the whole digestive system of the mouth and tongue to the point of disposal, and we hope to relieve the discomfort.
