Suggest Treatment For Burning Tongue Syndrome

I have had burning tongue syndrome for 4 years and I am searching for some on to give me some relief. Are you aware of any specialist that might could help me. I also have fibromyalgia, lupus, and a positive ANA. I have had to retire from being a nurse for around 25 years. Do you know of any help for me?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain burning tongue syndrome or Burning mouth syndrome is a condition in which there is burning sensation inside mouth that occurs spontaneously and can come and go and there can be burning, scalding and numbing sensation inside mouth..
It can occur due to a number of causes like dry mouth, oral infections like thrush, acid reflux, stress,dentures, allergic reaction,diabetes, thyroid disorders, side effects of medicines etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like hormonal assy, complete blood picture etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine, take multivitamin supplements, do cool water rinses and suck ice.
Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
