Hi,

Well, it looks like the supplement that you are taking is not suiting your body type and it is the cause for dry skin and irritated throat. Also, the tongue is sore and inflamed due to dryness.

So my suggestion is to stop consuming the same and it is always better to take any supplements after getting advised by a certified Dietician or a Physician.

To reduce dryness drink plenty of water and chew sugar-free chewing gum. You can gargle with Lidocaine mouthwash to reduce soreness and suck ice pops.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
