Suggest Remedy For Mouth Burns In Elderly

I have been having heartburn daily for the past two months and my mouth burns....the roof, gums and tongue. I shined a flashlight in my mouth and the roof of my mouth looks pale and the back has red streaks. The problem stated when I was under some stress. I have health anxiety, so this persistant problem is making me very nervous. I am a 63 year old female. I know, you would think by now I would have conquered this anxiety! I go to a doctor in three weeks. My appetite is good, but it have a lot of gas and belching. I have energy.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The burning sensation can be because of the burning mouth syndrome or aphthous ulcers or erosive lichen planus.
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
If it is aphthous ulcer/burning mouth syndrome/erosive lichen planus you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
