I woke up a few days ago with my mouth and tounge swollen. I could hardly talk and was difficult to understand. I went to work anyway but a few hours later, I developed a fever and went home and slept most of the day. Slowly it has gone away (I still can feel some sensivity in the roof of my mouth).
Now, although only the roof of my mouth feels a bit painful, my whole mouth and lips are very sensitive to anything even mildy spicy. I like Jack cheese and had some but found that I couldn't even think of eating it. I ate a bite the other night and it burned my mouth terribly. Before, I enjoyed it all the time. I tried taking a shot of wisky at a party of a friend and found that it also burned my mouth and tounge. I had to spit it out it hurt so much.
I'm worried that this is a symptom of something else very serious going on in my body. Does anyone else know what can cause this?
Thanks - Rich

It could be a severe allergic reaction to food, medication, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. Or inflammation of the tongue, called glossitis or oral herpes. Only a doctor can correctly diagnose ur problem. If the sensitivity in ur mouth persists, see ur doctor without fail, something is going on in ur mouth that needs to be checked out further, as u said, it could be a symptom of something serious occurring elsewhere in ur body.

Perhaps it is related to your virus - but take an oral benadryl drink a lot of water and rest. Often food allergies can make your lips swell - ?? If it's not better in 24 hours call your MD as it's the best advice for this as we can't 'see' the rash. Feel better.

You should have gone straight to ER when you mouth and tongue were swollne. You now need to GET OFF THE COMPUTER and go see a doc.

You need to see a Doctor or go to the ER because it sounds like Mono.

Sound like you got poison.
Depend on insect bite or consumption of poisonous food.
Make an appointment with your doctor and check it out
