What Causes Burning Sensation On Tongue While Eating?
My mother is 79 years old. She has recently started to experience a burning sensation in her tongue when eating or drinking. The pain is so severe she stops eating and I fear that she may not be getting enough nutrition. After quizzing her, it seems to be related to foods containing vinegar. She has no cuts or sores in her mouth.

Since ur motger is an old person and vitamin deficit us very much common in dis age group so it may be due to chronic glossitis whic is very much common and usualy it will lead to burning sensations when any spicy or sour food material vomes in cintacts.
For treatment u can start multivits 1 od along wid folitab and zytee lotion for local application.
Hope ur doubts are clear.
