A member asked:
I had vestibular neuritis and then some burning sensation on the trigeminal nerve, could all this be caused by the same virus or no connection?

Not likely: Burning tongue especially bilateral is common in post menopausal women while inner ear infection is most likely by a virus!

Possible relation: See a neurologist and if necessary have a spinal tap, as this may represent an ongoing inflammatory process within brain or over the brain coverings.
