Not OTC in USA. Have no clue about India. Recommend neurologist as sounds like possible neuropathy

While burning sensation suggests a neuropathy in general, treating without understanding its possible cause is not recommended. Many times such neuropathies reflect systemic disease that if left untreated may progress. Start with an assessment with his or her physician.
