What Causes Lip And Tongue Tip Dryness?

Hi! For the past couple of days I've been feeling this sort of dry feeling on my inner lips, mostly the bottom one, and the tip of my tongue. My description of the feeling is like when you eat sunflowers seeds. I also notice when anything minty touches it, it burns a little. What could it be? Thank you! Age 34, height, 6'0", weight 320

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Xerostomia or dryness in mouth leading to the symptoms and due to it there is inflammation in the tip of tongue and inner lip leading to burning..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in treatment of the underlying cause of the illness can help in confirming the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now chew sugar free chewing gums for stimulation of saliva flow, drink plenty of water and suck on ice pops..
Avoid spicy and irritating foods..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this informations helps..

Thanks and regards.
