Question 1

ithcy throat turned sore from constantt cough. back part of my tongue feels like its burnt. viral? anything otc i can take?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat pain: Try Chloroseptic spray which numbs your throat.  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 1000 mg up to 4 times/day should also help you to feel better.  It is most likely viral, as most sore throats and coughs are caused by viruses.  Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, get lots of rest, and take Vitamin C to help your body heal itself.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Question 4

my tongue feels like i burnt it and i know i didn't burn it. it started out itchy all in my mouth tongue and cheeks. my taste buds raised, red and irritated. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

"Burning Mouth": This sounds like the "burning mouth syndrome "which is a poorly understood problem. Typically it occurs women over the age of 40 and is felt to possibly be under hormonal control. It's also possible that it could be secondary to a virus. Extremely annoying I have found that relief can occur with a low acid diet and rinsing your mouth with mylanta liquid after each meal and before bed.

Question 7

my tongue feels like i got burnt by  a very hot drink. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

It is temporary: Our tongue is prone to get affected by what we eat and drink. There are many viruses that can cause sores on the tongue. Most often our immune system heals these afflictions.
If it is not better in 2-3 days take a short course of Vitamin-c, 500 mg, 1 tablets daily for one week. it is harmless yet, it may do you good as it improves the immune system.

Options: Which part of the tongue burns (i.e. Whole tongue, tip, back, only one side?)  this could be related to cervical issues, metals in your crowns if they are new, tooth paste, chewing gum, etc... Many options, but start with anatomy, that is which nerve is involved.  You may need a qualified physician to help you rule out causes.
