Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. Tongue burning sensation and taste deterioration is a common complaint and is most of the time innocuous secondary to many common ailments like flu, cold, airway infection, acid reflux or medications induced.
Though often hailed as "the strongest muscle in the body," the tongue is made up of a group of muscles that allow us to taste food, swallow, and talk. A healthy tongue is pink and covered with small nodules called papillae.
Because you use your tongue constantly, it can be frustrating and uncomfortable when you experience tongue problems, including discoloration and soreness. There are a variety of causes for a number of common tongue symptoms. Fortunately, the majority of tongue problems are not serious and most can be resolved quickly.
In some instances, though, a discolored or painful tongue can indicate more serious conditions, including vitamin deficiencies, AIDS, or oral cancer. For this reason, it is important to seek medical advice if you have any ongoing problems with your tongue.
Consult an oral hygienist and let them take care of your symptoms.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
