What Causes Burning Sensation On The Tongue After Consuming Sugar?
Okay, hear is a tough one. I have burning tongue syndrome. When I consume sugar, even sugar water, my tongue burns severely. And don t even think about a powdered donut. I have had multiple tests for yeast infections, etc. - all negative. Why would sugar irritate my tongue?
As per your complain Burning tongue/mouth syndrome is a condition in which there is burning sensation inside mouth and can also be associated with a scalded feeling and can also experience numbing sensation..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and investigations like blood tests can be advised.. Treatment of underlying cause will resolve the symptoms.. As of now to get relieved you can start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.. Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.. Avoid spicy foods and take a soft bland diet.. Suck ice pops..
Hope this helps..
Regards.
