irritated membranes on lips and excessively dry mouth

The New-Test Forum - Drugs and Allergies

Hi ,

I am asking on behalf of my husband who for around 6 months now has had inflammed inside of his lower lip and a very dry mouth that causes him discomfort. It started on a trip to colorado he felt his tongue was swollen and under his tongue all the tags were inflamed and a little white groth was on his tongue. He went to an oral surgeion in colorado and they took a biosy of this tag and it came back fine. The dr. said it may just be an allergic thing. Well the tags under the tongue have gone down but his mouth really irritates him dry and he says feels rough. He went to a oral pathologist who thought it might be yeast took swab and it came back negative but she put him on anti fungal rinses for 4 week. He has had mild change. The only thing that was different in his life was he had oral surgery on his gums and they put him on antiobiotics adn prednisone for inflamation. The Dr. thought maybe these symptoms were side affects but these symptoms happened well after his surgery. Anyone have any ideas on what to do next? He is so sick and tired of the feelingin his mouth and he will not kiss me in case it is something wierd! I would appreciate any info or ideas on who to seek help from.

Thanks,
