Summary
Orchid 30799 had a severe cough about two months before posting in December 2023 that kept them awake at night and did not respond to medication, with tiredness the only other symptom. A week or two later their tongue swelled and hurt badly and has not been the same since, worsening with sweets and alcohol. They cut out alcohol, cut back on sugar and planned a hydrogen peroxide mouthwash, wondering if it was COVID.

I've completely cut out alcohol now for fear that it will make my tongue swell again. I've also cut back on sugar and sweets.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
