Hi Laura,
I rather agree with Nellie that this sounds like some type of irritation in your mouth......although of course you must have it checked by a doctor.

I'm SHOCKED that your ENT wouln't give you something for anxiety. If you don't have a primry care, go to your closest doc in the box clinic, take your records with you, explain the situation and they will write you a script on the spot, guarantee it. It's how I got my first anti-anxiety meds, you know, the ones I never thought I would need! They do wonders for us and I pray that you get some soon.
Hug your daughter for me, bless her heart, I worked with many cystic fibrosis patients during my nursing career.

Take care and keep us posted.
Minnie
