What Causes Burning Sensation On The Tip Of The Tongue?

My husband redid kitchen floor and put several coats of sealant on.
We did not sleep in the house the first night.
Returned the second night and since then have noticed my glands sore, keep wanting to swallow and burning sensation on tip of tongue.
We have tried to keep house ventilated with several fans going now into the 6th day.
Is this a reaction to the sealant fumes still hovering in the house?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, yes certain chemicals can cause irritation when they are exposed to oral cavity accidentally..

It can cause irritation of the mucosal surfaces causing pain, soreness and inflammation..

So it is better for him to stay away from exposure for another 3-4 days at least and take anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen for relief..
Doing warm saline gargles can also help..
Do cool compresses over the swollen glands from.outside of swelling visible..
Do cool compresses over the tongue tip..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
