Right Throat And Tongue Hurt. Causes?
Question: The right side of my throat hurts as well as the right side of my tongue. this was a sudden onset. I woke up feeling bad yesterday and nothing I do relieves the throat and tongue pain.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Sudden onset of pain in right side of tongue along with pain in throat can be due to-
1. Oral herpes
2. Mouth ulcers- at the base of the tongue
3. Diabetic neuropathy
4. Dentures that irritate the tongue
5. Neuralgia
A direct examination is teh only way to make a diagnosis. Consulting an ENT specialist will be helpful.
Practice good oral hygiene. Be sure to eat a well-balanced diet.
Some minor sores of tongue do heal on their own.
See your dentist if you have a tongue problem caused by dentures.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Regards.
