What Causes Loss Of Sensation And Burning Sensation Of Tongue?

Posted on Sat, 13 Dec 2014
Question: Hi Dr. XXXXXXX

Facing a problem from last 2 3 days which doesn't seems like leaving me alone. From few days i have lost the taste of my mouth. Even the sweetest sweet taste like there is no sugar in it. I believe I am facing with ulcers but i am not sure. There is a burning sensation on my whole tongue. And it burns more while eating or even drinking water.

Can you please suggest me some medicine to get rid of this. Last night i used a gel called ulsore, applied it over my tongue couple of times but haven't yet received much relief.

I have heard of a medicine named becosules which can be used for ulcers but i am not sure about it. Also, right know i am on a medication suggested by an orthopedic surgeon which i am taking due to a small cramp which I got into my shoulder in Gym. The medicines I am taking right now for this are Phlogam and Etova-MR.

I request you to please suggest me with some treatment for my ulcers problem which I can do alongwith my current medications.

Brief Answer:
you start on becosules

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to me .

The cause for loss of sensation and burning over tongue are many.

I suggest you to consult a physican . The reason is to get confirmed that you have mouth ulcers and the severity and the cause. The treatment depends on severity of ulcers and cause . Yours appear more severe because it didn't got relieved by ulsore.

Pain killer like etova MR you are taking also cause mouth ulcers.

Till then I suggest you to start using zytee ointment(benzalkonium chloride) which may be available over the counter. Apply 3 to 5 times daily. Start becosules twice a day after food, morning and night. This is a multivitamin combination used for mouth ulcers because sometimes mouth ulcers are caused due to vitamin deficiency. After 15 days you may take only once a day for 15 days more and you may stop if you are on a healthy diet.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help you.
