Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore throat, spots around uvula and roof of the mouth along with enlarged taste buds and bitter tasting mucous seems to be most probably due to Gastroesophageal reflux disease or Acid reflux..

When the bitter tasting acid refluxes from stomach to throat and mouth there is inflammation of throat along with tongue leading to sore throat and inflamed taste buds..

I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like upper G.I Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take:

1.Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole..

2.Take antacids like Milk of magnesia..

3.Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water..

4.Always take walk after meals and take your dinner atleast 2 hours before sleep..

5.You should sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet..

6. Try loosing weight if you are obese..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
