I had my regular check-up with my ent the other day and he said my ears and nose are still doing good,but I asked him about the inside of my cheeks being so puffy ( like cottonballs on the inside ).I thought for sure it was from my saliva glands and he would have a quick fix but he said it wasn't and he had no idea. He wanted me tested for allergies and possibly having Sjogrens syndrome. So I went the other day and had 12 tubes of blood drawn ( I had my monthly blood and urine test done at the same time ) Well it came back neg. for Sjogrens and my other bloodwork was pretty good. My sed rate was 20 and hasn't been that high in a long time.I won't have the results from the allergy test until this week and they said the pred. may hide any allergy. I even went to the dentist under his suggestion and had a scan done of my month and u could see how puffy it was but my dentist blew it of and said I had some exposed nerves and gave me a script for special toothpaste.I don't know what to do at this point,it gets so bad and I swear it's my glands by reading up on it but my ent is a really good dr. I don't know what to do next
