No Help From Dexilant For Swollen Roof Of Mouth Near Throat. Any Suggestions?

I continually get swelling on the roof of my mouth all the way back near my throat and sometimes it makes me gag. My ENT gave me a prescription for Dexilant. I have been taking it for a little over 3 weeks and no help.
What can I do? Is an ENt where I should be going?

you need to get consultation from allergy specialist doctor as the swelling is due to allergy in my opinion
as the some protein in food is reacting and there is swelling
yoou can use anti allergic tab and triamsolone mouth paint application in area
the allergy specialist can find the protein reacting and avoid that to get cure
this is right way of direction as per my experience
