Question 1

i have a dry mouth no matter how much i drink  and swollen tongue with indents along the side.

Accepted Answer

The tongue indents: Are not uncommon and are usually caused by your tongue constantly lying alongside or rubbing on the inside of your lower teeth.  The dry mouth can be caused by a host of medical issues, medications, etc.  See your physician for an evaluation for the dry mouth and a dentist for a dental evaluation. Also ask both your dentist and physician about using biotene which is a saliva replacement therapy.

Question 2

my wifes swollen tonge on one side and a dry mouth?

Accepted Answer

Salivary stone?: If the swelling is actually under the tongue on that side she may have a large sublingual salivary stone that is blocking a duct. This can be confirmed with an x-ray of the area. See your dentist to have that condition diagnosed.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Not an STD: No STD or any other infection from sexual contact is a likely cause of such symptoms. Almost certainly your symptoms have nothing to do with that event, unless due in part to anxiety about it -- and certainly anxiety is the most common cause of complaints like these. Continue to work with your doctor, or maybe counseling. Good luck with it.

Accepted Answer

: There are several causes of enlarged parotid glands ranging from obstructed salivary ducts from stone formation to autoimmune disease to infection to tumors. It seems you are being treated for an infection possibly from an obstructed duct. If you have dry mouth this might be also from an immune disorder. I suggest you followup an ENT doctor if your swelling does not subside to baseline soon.

Several possibilites: You may have an infection , salivary gland inflammation or infection, pharyngitis, dental infection.  Please see you physician asap to prevent any serious complicationinfection.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Swear off, OK?: Even if you did a large amount, it would be out of your system by now. In fact, effects are not expected at all after ~5 hrs. Here's info: http://drug.addictionblog.org/how-long-does-cocaine-stay-in-your-system/
If you had enough to be toxic - you might have died, so you were lucky this time. Don't press your luck. Steer clear of it. Also it can be 'laced' w/ poisons. It's a bad thing! Best wishes
