Hello! I'm 28 years old and currently have a medical issue. Every time after a meal I feel this sort of soreness in the root of my tongue. It feels like the root is pushing the tongue up. The same happens when I drink coffee and coca-cola. I was wondering if I could get some help diagnosing the issue. I'm an asthma patient but don't feel like the two are connected. Thanks.

# There is soreness in mouth after meals it can be due to salivary gland disorder.Sialedentis (infection of sublingual glands) or sialolithiasis (stone in glands).
> Take plenty of fluids
>Suck on lemon if it's stone it will go
> For infection take antibiotics
Tab O2 twice daily for 5 days after meals if patient is alcoholic then take Tab Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5 days after necks.
>Do warm saline rinses.
