What Could Be The Reasons For Burning Sensation On Tongue?
I've had a burning sensation on my tongue for last month or so. Mouthwash and any citric also causes a worse burning sensation. Visibly there are lines and patches on my tongue that look like mucous buildup, but do not brush off with a toothbrush. I do take meds and supplements, but haven't really changed anything in last 6 months.

IT IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM. NO NEED TO GET PANICKED WITH THIS. PROBABLY YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM ORAL LICHEN PLANUS. IT OFTEN GOES UNDIAGNOSED DUE TO WHICH PATIENT KEEPS SUFFERING FROM THE DISEASE. IT IS A TYPE OF BENIGN DISEASE THAT CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH A VARIETY OF MEDICINES. IT TAKES TIME TO GO BUT DEFINITELY GETS RELIEVED.
