A member asked:
All of sudden my mouth and upper lip became sensitive. slight reddish tip of the tongue. it was bad couple days back but seems to be improving. however it burns with the slightest spice. what could it be and what should i do?

The lips don't have much of a barrier to irritants and you're tongue's taste buds are now quite sensitive to spices for some reason. In addition to avoiding spices,I recommend rinsing your tongue with warm salt water or preferably with maalox. I expect the tongue sensitivity will resolve shortly.
