Brief Answer:
Vitamin B deficiency could be present

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your question but would request you to elaborate on your problem. Please mention:
* How long and specifically what problems did you have?
* The reason for using Wintergreen dip?
* Whether insult from hot liquids or food could be present?

Anyway, from your description it seems that Vitamin B deficiency could be present and taking Vitamin B complex supplements for a few days should be helpful.

Please contact me back with the requested details and I will help you further.

Regards
