Swelling at the base of the tongue
I got GERD from last one month and gas coming out of throat isvery constant even with medication. From the last 2 weeks while cleaning the tongue I am noticing some extra layer of swelling on my base of the tongue which I can't see but it is constant with no pain or any sensation . Is it normal or should I get it checked?
