Suggest Remedy For Swelling In The Back Of The Mouth

The back of my mouth on the upper part back part is swollen. feels like something is stuck there. Also have stuffy nose. My doc thought it was thrush and put me on a fungal antibiotic that dissolves in my mouth but I have been using it and it has not gotten better. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

As you have mentioned you have got relief from fungal antibiotics so this could be fungal infection, i would suggest you to continue with the medications, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take multivitamin suplements, maintain a very good oral hygiene.

Take care!
