How should I deal with a burning sensation on my tongue?
Tongue burning sensation is commonly associated with burning mouth syndrome, which is related to dental calculus and oral hygiene. This condition can be induced by burning sensation in the tongue. In addition, chronic diseases such as diabetes or female menopause syndrome are also prone to induce this condition. Another more serious issue is fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Here are the details:
1. Burning Mouth Syndrome: The main causes of burning mouth syndrome may be dental calculus, poor restoration, residual roots, or residual crowns that irritate the oral mucosa and tongue, causing burning pain, dull pain, and taste dullness. To eliminate local irritants, analgesics can be applied locally for those with severe pain.
2. Menopause Syndrome and Diabetes: In addition, menopause syndrome and diabetes may also be responsible for this condition. Vitamin or mineral deficiencies, such as a lack of folic acid, zinc, or vitamin B complex, can also lead to changes in the tongue resembling burning pain.
3. Candida Albicans Infection: If you experience oral Candida albicans infection, it is recommended to use 0.5% dyclonine solution for local application to reduce pain.
4. Endocrine Disorder: If you have endocrine disorders, it is recommended to adjust your endocrine appropriately. For women, progesterone can be taken appropriately, but it is recommended to consult a doctor before taking it.
5. Eating Habits or Reflux Esophagitis: Eating hot or spicy food can cause a burning sensation in the tongue. It is also possible that reflux esophagitis or reflux gastritis can lead to this condition. It is recommended to seek medical attention.
