Why Do I Feel Like A Hair Stuck In The Throat And Gums To Be Rough?
hi,over the last several weeks the inside of my mouth has felt strange.At first I thought it was thrush,as my tongue was allitle white. I bought over the counter remedies,plus a recommended mouth wash. However, nothing has changed, I feel like there r hairs in the back of my throat, and my gums feel alittle like sandpaper. I haven t been on any antibiotics lately. Any ideas. thankyou.
