How To Treat Tongue Dryness And Burning?
Tongue is sore and burns. Have had some repertory problem, and sucks mints and lozenges for dryness in the mouth. Have tried rinsing with salt water. Did not help. Put some Gly-Oxide drops on tongue and roof of mouth. Not much help. Feels like tonge wants to stick to roof of mouth. Have several health issues. Have been taking Claritin-d. What can we do to aid the burning?

Hello,
There are many causes of soreness of tongue one of them can be dryness of mouth which may be because of some salivary gland infection as you are also mentioning that your tongue is also sticking to your roof of the mouth.
According to me you should visit a good dentist get complete examination of saliva and blood done.
As this will help your problem relieved.
Hope it will help you.
