What Causes Strong Sensation Of Menthol In Mouth?

Hello, I have a very strong sensation of menthol, in my mouth. I've had it for over a month. I feel it on my tongue, gums, palate and even down into my throat. My lips burn also. I drink water all the time to relieve it. I had a tooth pulled over a month ago. I didn't have this cold burning feeling till about 3 weeks after the extraction. It's not getting better. Any thoughts?
