Accepted Answer

: Unless proven otherwise I'd regard these tongue and mouth symptoms as part of the covid infection. The medical literature does describe tongue numbness and refers to it as covid tongue. At this stage I don't think paxlovid or remdesivir treatment would be helpful. You could get your physician's opinion.about this.

Question 9

i've had a light sore throat for over a week now. i have red dots on my tongue. i feel weak and fatigued most days and have had numbness in fingers?

Accepted Answer

Get Strep Test: Depending on other potential signs and symptoms - fever, lack of cough, tonsillar exudates, and/or anterior cervical tender adenopathy, you may have strep throat, which can cause a "strawberry tongue." However, 90% of pharyngitis is viral, so antibiotics would not be indicated unless strep test positive or drys suspicion for strep is very high.  Take Care!

Question 10

ibs like symptoms for a year with clean colon/endoscopy tests, ct and xray. syrup and honey both made my throat swell and tongue numb. possible cause?

Accepted Answer

Allergic food: reaction. serious symptoms and you must be immediately checked and treated for food allergies-call for an appointment now. If symtoms persist: I advise ER evaluation. I woulod take 2 adult Benadryl (diphenhydramine) NOW- if worsening-ER
