I'm dealing with a sore throat and dry mouth, and it gets worse when I wake up. I've tried proton pump inhibitors, so I don't think it's acid reflux since I didn't get any relief, plus I don't have heartburn or burps after meals. I've also noticed some numbness at the tip of my tongue. What could be causing these symptoms?
