I have had a burning sensation around my lower last molar and tongue on the right side of my mouth for several weeks and it seems to have affected my throat. When I swallow food, it seems to be scratchy. The molar has a gold crown except the top surface which the dentist opened up to do the root canal later and was refilled with some kind of dark filling. All these were done a number of years ago. I was at the dentist for check up and Xray less than 6 months ago and was told that everything was OK. This is not a major pain but certainly extremely annoying. Also, prior to that burning sensation I had little round white bumps on that side of my tongue for a couple of days. Ive been on strong antibiotics for another condition, thought it would kill all bacteria. Can it be some sort of virus? Please help! Thanks so much!
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It can be possible that you might be developing some kind of allergic reaction due to that hold crown, but for the treatment you have to get the crown removed and start with some anesthetic ointment and steroids ointments on the area. Even once you visit consult your dentist also. Hope it will help you.
