I have had some symptoms of a sore throat since yesterday and my tongue is progressively getting sorer and is slightly swollen. I had the same symptoms a few months ago and both of the side of my tongue became so sore it was difficult to eat. It was extremely uncomfortable and lasted a little over a week. I saw my Asthma doctor as I though it was thrush, which is a side effect of the foracort inhaler I use. he said it was not and that it was a virus that would just take its course. Is there anything else I can do to ease the soreness?
