Suffering from bumps in my mouth that keep appearing and disappearing for 2 months please help!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Does anyone have any solutions, suggestions or know what is going on with my mouth? I’m growing really impatient and desperate since the doctors don’t know what it is that’s causing bumps on the roof and back of my mouth when I eat and then “disappears” minutes after I discontinue eating. The bumps /pimples/redness comes when I eat like in between when I’m eating or afterwards which then stings and I’m forced to stop eating. One time it got really bad that it felt like the back of my mouth was swelling up and stung really badly. The most it’s taken for the bump/pimple to go down is 5-10 mins or even a couple of hours for extreme cases. This has been going on for almost 2 months now and I’m terrified to eat. Ive lost weight and minimized my eating. Sometimes pus will come out too from the bumps. On February’s 27th, 2019 I weighed 106 pounds and I’m 17 years old, I had LPR when I was 12 since it was undiagnosed and it wasn’t resolved until I was about 14. I have not since suffered from that and I am relatively healthy except I was recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety (I’m seeking help from therapy and I have been taking antidepressants for 2 weeks now and it’s manageable at the moment). I hardly get sick like common colds or flus only like once every 3-5 years. A month ago, I went to the doctors and weighed 102 pounds. At first my doctor said it was harmless even though it has been persistent, then she said it was a viral infection and to use mouth wash, which I did; however, that wasn’t really effective. I also got checked for any STDs and got my mouth swabbed, since there were no present bumps; only when I eat, the doctors said that it was highly unlikely from an STD. I got my blood work done and pee to check for any STDs and nothing came up positive. I tried eating on different sides of my mouth and nothing seemed to work. I constantly have to check my mouth in the mirror every time I eat which became a bad habit and every time I eat I get anxiety which makes my general anxiety even worse. I’m afraid of dying or choking if this goes untreated, but the doctors say it’s not abnormal; however, this has been going on and causing me to have a great deal of anxiety and I’ve been losing weight. Now I weigh 96 pounds. I have lost 10 pounds in 2 months and I’m constantly worried. I emailed my doctor again and made another appointment and she said I had oral allergy syndrome and that fruits might be causing it even though I have been eating tropical fruits throughout my life and have been fine. My symptoms aren’t typical oral allergy symptoms too so it was weird. She prescribed me Zyrtec which I took for a week. The 8th day I took the medicine, I threw up from the medicine and I feel like my eating is so limited. She said if she can’t find anything she will have to send me to a specialist and have an allergy test to see what types of food I’m allergic to which I’m weary about because I doubt it’s food. She also said that the extreme case is surgery which I don’t want to have to come to. I feel miserable and that I’m wasting a lot of money and I’ve tried eating soft foods, bland foods and not too hot or too cold foods and followed everything but I feel hopeless which is causing my mental health to plummet so if anyone knows anything or have any solutions please help! image
