Your father had already undergone a surgery for tongue cancer. But even after surgery lymph nodes have come positive in the recent pet scan. So the tumour has metastasis in the lymph nodes which are showing up now. There is no definitive thing as to which will work surgery or chemo. Chemo if used now will be just for palliation that is it may extend your father's life but it will not cure the disease. If you'll talk about surgery. It will cure the disease but who knows how many more nodes or organs has this tumour extended to. So it all depends on the surgeon's preference and the patient's age and functional disability that occurs after surgery.

I understand you're experiencing discomfort and pain in your mouth and jaw, and I want to help provide some guidance. However, I cannot diagnose medical conditions or offer specific medical advice. It's important to seek professional medical help for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. With that in mind, here are some general suggestions: seek medical attention: contact your dentist immediately: explain your symptoms and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. They can examine your mouth, diagnose the cause of your pain and swelling, and recommend the appropriate treatment. Consider emergency care if: you have difficulty breathing or swallowing. You have severe facial swelling or redness. You have a high fever. You experience intense, unrelieved pain. Possible causes: swollen taste buds: several factors can cause this, including allergies, irritation from dental appliances, oral thrush, or burning your tongue. Wisdom tooth issues: painful gum inflammation and swelling around wisdom teeth are common, especially if they're impacted or erupting. Tips to manage discomfort: gargle with warm salt water several times a day to soothe pain and swelling. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling and pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage mild pain. Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods that may irritate your tongue and mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush and floss gently around the affected area to prevent further infection. Remember: don't try to diagnose yourself or ignore the symptoms. Seek professional medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Follow the dentist's instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. I hope this information provides some initial guidance and helps you find the right medical care. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

The keratin formed on the top of our tongues is knocked off and swallowed when we eat our meals. Normally the amount of keratin produced is equal to the amount knocked off, and our tongues appear normal. Sometimes this balance is upset, however, and the condition called “coated tongue” results. This increased production of keratin is usually due to irritation of the top of the tongue due to drinking hot beverages or smoking tobacco. Generally, the most effective treatment for this condition is the daily use of a tongue scraper, which removes the dead keratinized cells from the top of the tongue. Stopping or reducing any habits that might cause irritation (smoking, regular consumption of soft drinks) to the top of the tongue also usually helps reduce the problem. Of course it is important to realize that this is a harmless condition, and if it doesn’t cause too many symptoms, it really doesn’t require treatment.

Good evening lybrate-user ji. Any person who is infected with hiv can be diagnosed after 21-28 days of exposure with a simple antibody test. In people who are hiv infected, all most all of them will be diagnosed with in 3 months and virtually all of them by 6 months. So in your case, as of now you are free from hiv but I advice you to repeat one last time after 180 days of exposure. 4th generation duo combo kits are well advanced and they are being used in all blood banks to test donated blood for immediate result of hiv status. The swolen lymphnodes on neck and armpit you have mentioned are may be due to other sti like syphilis etc. And flu maybe due to your partner's airway infection. Your physician might got tested you with vdrl test which will ruleout the status of syphilis of which the reports you have not provided. Hence I request you to stay calm and get treatment for all other complications and please get tested for hiv one last time after 180 mdays since exposure. I have more than 10 years experience treating hiv disease and please contact if you still need further assistance.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. An injury to the tongue can make it look or feel bumpy. As with other areas of the body, the tongue may swell in response to an injury. People who accidentally bite their tongues sometimes notice a swollen bump for a few days after the injury.
