Hi, you predominantly have gerd. Pain may be due to overlapping symptoms of dyspepsia (epigastric pain syndrome) or gerd related. Anxiety can precipitate or worsen the symptoms of gerd. If you have taken ppi (pantoprazole, omeprazole etc.) for some time regularly and have no symptom relief or if you have difficulty in swallowing, vomiting, blood in vomit, weight loss. Then you will benefit from consulting a gastroenterologist. May need to undergo, endoscopy +/- oesophageal manometry.

I understand you're experiencing discomfort and pain in your mouth and jaw, and I want to help provide some guidance. However, I cannot diagnose medical conditions or offer specific medical advice. It's important to seek professional medical help for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. With that in mind, here are some general suggestions: seek medical attention: contact your dentist immediately: explain your symptoms and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. They can examine your mouth, diagnose the cause of your pain and swelling, and recommend the appropriate treatment. Consider emergency care if: you have difficulty breathing or swallowing. You have severe facial swelling or redness. You have a high fever. You experience intense, unrelieved pain. Possible causes: swollen taste buds: several factors can cause this, including allergies, irritation from dental appliances, oral thrush, or burning your tongue. Wisdom tooth issues: painful gum inflammation and swelling around wisdom teeth are common, especially if they're impacted or erupting. Tips to manage discomfort: gargle with warm salt water several times a day to soothe pain and swelling. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling and pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage mild pain. Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods that may irritate your tongue and mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush and floss gently around the affected area to prevent further infection. Remember: don't try to diagnose yourself or ignore the symptoms. Seek professional medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Follow the dentist's instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. I hope this information provides some initial guidance and helps you find the right medical care. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I understand your frustration and concern about the chronic painful bumps appearing on your tongue after singing, eating meat, or spicy food. While I can't diagnose your specific condition or offer medical advice, I can provide some information and suggestions that might be helpful: possible causes of your symptoms: transient lingual papillitis: this is a common condition that causes small, red bumps to appear on the tongue. It's often called "lie bumps" and is thought to be caused by irritation from hot, spicy foods, acidic drinks, or even vigorous oral hygiene practices. It usually resolves on its own within a few days. Glossitis: this is inflammation of the tongue that can cause bumps, pain, and burning sensations. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or side effects of medication. Tongue cancer: while less common, it's important to rule out the possibility of cancer, especially if the bumps don't resolve on their own, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other symptoms like hoarseness, weight loss, or difficulty swallowing. Based on your description, transient lingual papillitis seems like a possible cause. However, it's important to seek an accurate diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional, preferably an ent specialist or dentist with experience in oral conditions. In the meantime, here are some things you can try: practice good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Use a gentle toothbrush and avoid harsh mouthwashes. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day: this can help soothe irritation and promote healing. Avoid irritants: this includes hot, spicy, acidic foods, and alcohol. You might also want to avoid tobacco products. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist. Consider using over-the-counter pain relievers: ibuprofen or acetaminophen might help temporarily manage the pain. Remember: don't ignore persistent or worsening symptoms. Seek medical attention if the bumps don't improve within a few days, become larger or more painful, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms. Focus on gentle care for your tongue. Avoid any further irritation through aggressive brushing or scraping. Document your symptoms and triggers: this information can be helpful for your doctor in making an accurate diagnosis. I hope this information is helpful and provides some direction as you seek appropriate medical care. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

Unfortunately, I cannot diagnose medical conditions or recommend specific treatments. This information requires consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. However, I can offer some general information and suggestions that might help you understand your situation better and consider the next steps: possible causes of excessive saliva and difficulty swallowing: gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd): this condition can cause stomach acid to back up into the esophagus, triggering excessive saliva production and difficulty swallowing. Dental issues: certain dental problems, like misaligned teeth or dentures that don't fit properly, can affect chewing and swallowing, leading to increased saliva and longer meal times. Neurological conditions: some neurological conditions like parkinson's disease or stroke can affect the muscles involved in swallowing, causing difficulty and slowness in the process. Anxiety or stress: these factors can also manifest physically, impacting saliva production and digestion. Tips for managing increased saliva and difficulty swallowing: maintain good oral hygiene: brush and floss regularly to ensure good mouth health and minimize irritation that might trigger excess saliva. Eat smaller, more frequent meals: this can help reduce the amount of food in your stomach at once, potentially making swallowing easier. Chew your food thoroughly: slower and more thorough chewing allows better food breakdown and mixing with saliva, facilitating easier swallowing. Maintain good posture: sitting upright while eating can improve swallowing mechanics. Consider stress management techniques: if anxiety or stress are influencing your symptoms, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation might be helpful. Recommendations: consult a doctor or gastroenterologist: they can conduct a thorough examination and recommend further tests, like endoscopy, to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. Consult a dentist: if dental issues are suspected, a dentist can assess your oral health and suggest solutions to improve chewing and swallowing functionality. Seek mental health support: if anxiety or stress appear to be contributing factors, consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor. Remember, seeking professional medical advice is crucial for understanding the cause of your increased saliva and swallowing difficulties and receiving proper treatment. Don't hesitate to schedule consultations with relevant healthcare professionals to address your concerns and improve your well-being. I hope this information is helpful and encourages you to prioritize your health by seeking professional assistance.
