What Causes Scalding Sensation In The Throat And Tongue?
The inside of my mouth, including tongue, roof of my mouth and throat feels scalded. This happened a few weeks ago after chewing Trident gum. Again I chewed a different flavor and am now in pain again. It feels as if I drank a hot drink and it burnt the entire mouth cavity.
