medically inclined mama's, help?

I have been having the strangest feeling in my mouth the last few days. It's not like laryngitis (sp?) or anything that I have ever had before. It's all in the back half of my mouth and goes back and forth between this numbing-tingling feeling to just feeling "swelled". Should I be concerned about my tonsils or something? Sometimes there is also this funny almost-metallic taste too.

The rest of me is fine. No fevers, no aches, not even a sore throat. It's just that area at the top of my throat and back of my mouth.

Trying to avoid running to the doctor, if you can't tell. Confused

    Call your doctor. It can't hurt to be checked out.

    I think the metallic taste is a symptom of tonsilitis.  I think I read that before.  I think it can be a number of other things, too.  You should at least call your doc and ask, you may very well not need an appointment.

    Could also be a symptom of oral allergies...

    call your doctor!
