A member asked:
Mouth burns while eating even mildly spicy and salty food. as such there is no discomfort when i'm not eating. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Listen to your body: Some people have very sensitive tastebuds. What one person may describe as mildly spicy can be very hot for another. So avoid the foods that burn your tongue. You are comfortable when not eating these foods. However I advise you to see your doctor for a checkup. Sometimes vitamin deficiencies like lack of iron, folate, (folic acid) b vitamins or a fugal infection of tongue or mouth cancer can manifest as fire
