What Causes Burning Tongue And Dry Mouth?

I have had a burning tongue for some time now. I've stayed away from anything with acid; cold water does not seem to help. I have tried sucking on candy and gum for dry mouth. This is terribly annoying. Before I had the burning tongue, I was suffering from dry mouth for months. Help.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Burning tongue or burning mouth is a very frustrating condition ,which is usually caused by many underlying causes including nutritional deficiences,dry mouth ,diabetes ,hormonal changes,fungal infection ,anxiety and many others.

I would advice you to consult your GP and rule out the cause for which it is causing and get it treated.
Start with multivitamins and have a good nutrition.

Also you have to keep your mouth hydrated by sipping water regularly ,ice chips sucking, sugarless chewing gums .
Avoid spicy and too hot foods,if you take alcohol and caffeinated drinks please avoid it.Avoid stress in life.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
