What Causes Tingling And Burning Sensation On The Tongue?

I am having tingling/burning sensation on my tongue. Sometimes including my throat and ears. My teeth are also sensitive. Not to hot/cold, but more like after dental cleaning. It has been this way for about a month. I am a type two diabetic. Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understating your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tingling and burning sensation on the tongue which seems to be due to symptoms of diabetic neuropathy and it could be due to irritated papillae of tongue, due to nutritional deficiencies.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Avoid intake of sharp, spicy and sticky food and take soft and light diet.

- Do warm saline gargles several times a day.

- Apply dologel and desi ghee on burning area.

- Don't brush with hard bristles and use super soft tooth brush and don't brush on tongue.

Visit oral physician once and get it examined and go for proper anti-inflammatory medication course. You should get fasting and pp blood glucose levels monitored and start treatment accordingly. Maintain hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
