How To Cure Burning Due To Enlarged Papillae On Throat?

I have enlarged papillae and the front 1/3 of my tongue and it burns as does the roof of my mouth with everything I eat and drink. This is ongoing for over a month, my local dentist has had me rinsing with Nystatin Oral Suspension for 2 weeks and it hasn't changed anything on my tongue, but my gums are better (ish). Waiting another week and then perhaps a biopsy. I am also now on a Vit B-Complex once a day. Suggestions please!

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the burning sensation over the tongue could be because of the candidal infection over the tongue or papilla infection. on constant contact of the infected tongue with the palate can cause lesion over the palate called kissing lesions. this lesion can produce burning sensation. complete the course of antifungal agents and maintain oral hygiene by proper tongue cleaning or brushing. you can continue the vitamin supplements. if the lesion doesnt heal then get a biopsy done to rule out any other pathology. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
