What Causes Stabbing Pain At The Base Of My Tongue?
Over the last 3 days I randomly get a stabbing pain at the base of my tongue which causes me to not be able to talk until the pain goes away. I am unable to get anything out, I have to cough a couple times and swallow then I am able to talk again. I recently had sinus surgery too. Any idea what could be causing this?
