Burning tongue: Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause a burning tongue. Are you a total vegan (B12 is found only in animal source)? If so, you may well have this deficiency. Other causes include a condition known as pernicious anemia when one cannot absorb vit B12 from the diet. There are other causes for burning tongue as well including adverse reaction to products use in your mouth etc. See an internist.
