What Causes Burnt Sensation In The Tongue?

the tip of my tongue feels like i burnt it, but i don't think i have. I've had it for more than five days now. In the first couple of days, there was a cluster of red bumps but now there is just a red line. The rest is normal and tongue doesn't have any white spots or anything.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you were suffering from Apthous Stomatitis leading to formation of small Apthous Ulcers or CANKER SORES but as now there is only a red line and ulcers have resolved it is a sign of healing and you need not to worry about it..
The red line and burnt feeling is due to persisting Inflammation and gradually it will also be resolved..
As this condition is more common in case of nutritional deficiencies of Iron , and Vitamin B12 you can take Multivitamin supplements daily for 15 days..
Do cold compresses and drink plenty of water..
If you feel burning you can apply a numbing gel over the inflamed area..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
