Suggest Treatment For Congestion , Throat Pain And Sinus Infection

About a year ago, I suffered from dry mouth, congestion and throat pain and was treated for a sinus infection. I still did not feel well and my symptoms got worse such as dry mouth, metallic taste and small red lesions on my tongue. I could nit eat and lost weight. I went to to another doctor and was diagnosed with thrush and given oral lozenges which did not help. I was then put on diffoucan and watched what i ate and my tongue and mouth started to heal. I was fine for a while but now mu to gue issue has returned with recurring small red spot which gets bigger with a thin white border. It always occurs in the same two spots -- left side of tongue and tongue tip. Sometimes it hurts and feels raw. I am t my wits end and don t know what to do. Any suggestions

HI.
Since you are suffering for almost a year, have taken different consultation of Doctors and tried many sorts of treatment without much relief indicates that you have to undergo special tests;
I would , in fact any Doctor would advise the tests to see that there is a chance that you may be suffering from such a disease that causes immuno-compromise, which in turn are causing the problems you are suffering.
The tests may comprise of those for diabetes, renal diseases, HIV and so on.

Once a proper diagnosis is made it is easy to have a proper treatment.
The tongue lesions if not healing can be biopsied and seen the reports to decide the further results.
I find this answer helpful
