Question 1

sore throat 3 weeks can feel uvula touching my tongue feels cold when i breath and irritated doc said viral last week ?

Accepted Answer

Could be: The uvula can definitely swell with a viral infection.  It should decrease to regular size within 7-10 days.  If it does not go back to normal or if it seems to be getting larger, see your doctor again - you may need a steroid to help with the swelling.

Question 2

i m unable to take breath from a nose instead of that i have to use my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Need to see MD: Inablity to breathe through can be due to
chronic nasal congection due to allergies
enlarged adenoids
nasal polyps
you need to have yourself checked and treat the cause.

Question 3

my tongue keeps getting dry and turns white whenever i start speaking, thus giving me horrible bad breath. i brush twice  and scrape 5+ times daily,?

Accepted Answer

Check with doctor: Check with your doctor to make sure that you do not have a yeast infection on your tongue. You also need to make sure that you do not have some other condition like diabetes that could cause you to be dehydrated and constantly have a dry mouth. Until you are seen I suggest drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine, alcohol and processed sugars.

Question 4

i snore of a night so loud and breath through my mouth a lot i even wake my self up snoring and hardly get much sleep? any idea why this happens?!

Accepted Answer

Complex: Snoring is a complex issue, but very treatable in many cases. See a sleep expert, or an ENT surgeon for a more complete evaluation.  Hope this helps!

Question 5

i am unable to breathe properly, i can only take weak and shallow breaths, and i experience wheezing when i try to force a deep breath or breathe through my mouth. its been going on for more than 24 hours now. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Need to be examined: This can be infectious or mechanical. Some with asthma will experience these symptoms as will some with infections that trigger wheezing &amp; pain. This is not something that wil pass without treatment. Go in immediately.

Question 6

if i was touching the bottom of a rag or dirty mop with tons of dirt from the floor with animals and theoretically speaking mistakingly touched my mouth or nose afterwards could i be exposed to dangerous germs , or are floor bacterias all around us?

Accepted Answer

: You may, especially if your hands are infested with animals' bacteria or parasite, e.g. Toxoplasma from cat or Echinocococcus from dog.

Question 7

white patch on left tonsil and my uvula is stuck on my right tonsil i have a sweet tast in my mouth as well but my breath doesn't smell funny?

Accepted Answer

See MD: Best to get in to see your ENT MD for exam, diagnosis and tx. Meantime try a warm salt water gargle and rinse. Good Luck.

Question 8

my throat / lower mouth /tongue tingles when i breath through my nose?

Accepted Answer

Allergy?: Your symptoms are not specific. the thing that comes to mind is some type of allergy. Try a non-prescription  antihistamine such as claritin, zyrtec and allegra, in addition to a nasal steroid spray, also nonprescription, such as nasalcort.
Pay attention to what else may be a trigger for this, such as food, or drinks. And see if there's anything abnormal in the mouth (redness, ulcers). Good luck

Question 9

found myself liking to breath in through my mouth until i feel a dryness where my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.  like the air taste. help.

Accepted Answer

Decay prone: I can't explain why you like to dry your mouth, but i can tell you that a dry mouth makes it easier to get decay. Your saliva is your first defense against decay. It neutralizes the decay causing acids.

Question 10

i have bad breath for about 5 years. the problem is my tongue. it's gets white no matter how hard i clean it. i have used mouth wash , salt, for cleaning it. still did not work. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Halitosis can be caused by many things, including cavities, periodontal problems, acid reflux, sinus infections, and diet. Since you've had this problem for years, the question is have you seen your physician and dentist to be evaluated? If not, now is the time for consults. Please make the calls.
