I took bottled water as planned but never had any chance to sip it. I just woke up as normal with a major dry mouth, sore tongue and horrible taste..oh and the throat is a little worse.

Dryness and taste quickly recovered after some water and a mouthwash/teeth brushing.

Swallowing getting harder but still currently possible if I build up to it and don't try to swallow too much, be that liquid or solid.

Talking is still affected by the stiff tongue but no noticible pain if I talk at a steady slow level.

Taking Ibuprofen and paracetamol to help with swallowing pain, as well as the Caphosol to control the mouth pain...so far its just about working.
