Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia caused by tonsillectomy
Is there any way to repair or transplant Mucosal Tissue in pharynx?
The problem is next: due to improper tonsillectomy and chronic pharyngitis, mucosal tissue in pharynx had been damaged (mostly in the region of left palatoglossal arch). Because of that, nerve endings of IX cranial nerve came to the surface of pharynx, causing very strong pain on every swallowing movement (food, drink or just a saliva).
Or is there any method to destroy or disable those nerve endings on the surface of pharynx?
Thanks in advance.

Dear sstanimi:
You probably need to see a neurologist to establish final diagnosis. gabapentin(neurontin) may help relieve glossopharngeal neuralgia. Good luck
