Question 1

i think my son may be allergic to tomatoes. he has d had a burning tongue and lips since eating a pizza 2 days ago. could this be the case?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Even though allergic reaction to food (aside from swelling) does not usually last for more than a few hours, I recommend that tomato be avoided until cleared by an allergist. Do note that there are other ingredients in pizza aside from tomato.

Question 2

burning r side of tongue several weeks. no bumps or redness. no pain to eat or drink. actually feels better when eating cleaning/oral exam in december. similar symptoms over last 10 years several times.-burning mouth syndrome. hx tmj. suggestions?

Accepted Answer

: I have referred patients with similar histories to the department of oral pathology at a university dental school with varying results, but at least I know they will receive the best of evaluations and care there.

Question 3

do hpv oral warts cause pain or burning tongue?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: A wart (regardless of viral type) isn't typically painful. The exception is if its grown to a size and is in a location where it is putting pressure on a nerve or some other structure. See an oral surgeon to discuss having the wart removed.

Question 4

what blood tests does a dr normally run for a burning tongue with no cause?

Accepted Answer

: When a patient presents with a burning tongue with no apparent cause, a doctor may run several blood tests to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms. These tests may include: Complete Blood Count, Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels, and Thyroid Function Tests.

Question 5

burning tongue with red patches and deep fissure down the middle.  burn has gone on for 9 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis?: I could give you a list of possibilities which would be of no real help to you. Better than that, see a dentist for a definitive diagnosis. The actual diagnosis will determine proper and appropriate treatment. This requires a complete medical and dental history and a clinical examination. Neither can be adequately accomplished over the internet on this site and at this point.

Question 6

i have black tongue and burning tongue sensation.it also hurts in middle of tongue like inflamed at bit. i was anemic a year ago had a hystectomy and ?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: Changes such as this in the oral cavity should be evaluated immediately due to the concern for cancer or changes to the blood supply.  That said, blackening of the tongue is commonly a side effect of bismuth use for upset stomach. Notably, your histories of anemia, hysterectomy nor burning mouth syndrome would be directly related to tongue discoloration.

Question 7

does famotidine cause burning tongue?

Accepted Answer

Not typical: Burning tongue is not a typical side effect of famotidine.  Gerd can certainly cause this.  Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

Question 8

i have a burning tongue, a postnasal mucus drop and excessive salivary production- what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Sinuses or reflux: This could be sinus drainage, a sinus infection or acid reflux. See your local ent.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Burning tongue: A burning tongue may have no obvious cause but sometimes it's due to vitamin deficiency or certain medications. Some patients get relief with maalox mouth washes or dry mouth dental sprays.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: There is no known cause of burning tongue, but from what is known..  Prednisone does not cause it.  I would suggest seeing an oral medicine or orofacial pain specialist for treatment.
