Hi everyone ,

Been getting a weird feeling on tongue and throat , really hard to describe.

I have been trying different spicy foods over the last month, also started having the odd beer. Was wondering if that could be irritating my mouth and throat ?

I get this feeling I need to clear my throat a lot ,like a post nasal drip thing going on. When I got discharged from oncologist last week ,she had a look but said all was ok. I still think my hayfever may be playing a part in this but not sure .as I can't take anti histamine because it dries my mouth up too much. Anyone had this post treatment, I'm six months along now.

Thanks all Mark

Which for me was anything fermented cheese,yoghurts pickles ,mustard citric and acidic I still have no tolerance for any spicy or or alcohol but that’s just me the majority can eat spicy food alcohol in moderation and try to keep,off spirts 6 months is still quite early maybe scale down on the spicy foods for a few weeks and see how younget in

Hi Hazel, thanks for your reply ,what's burning tongue syndrome? Does it cause post nasal drip sensations? I already keep a food diary ,I will look back and see if there are any definite triggers.

Just what it's described as . A hot fiery tongue. I suspect after RT it's a type of neuropathy.

My tongue used to be extremely red and cracked if I ate the triggered foods all the papillae on my tongue were raised and sore. . It lasted around 2 years then went as quickly as it came. Can’t say I noticed nasal drip but I did get acid reflux which is similar just after treatment finished. Take omeprazole first that. I would ask gp to check as they are very similar gerd and post nasal drip. Msny if us have gerd ( acid reflux ) after treatment.
