Secondary burning mouth syndrome from mouthwash go away?

Mouthwash: I am not sure what you are asking, but some mouthwashes can cause sensitivity, especially if they contain alcohol. Try an alcohol free mouthwash. You may be more comfortable.

Watch flavoring also: The flavoring in many mouthwashes could cause a burning sensation. Try staying away from mint flavored and cinnamon flavored mouthwashes. Alcohol free may also help.

Secondary BMS: Secondary burning mouth syndrome may be caused by anxiety, depression, GERD and using mouthwash too often can be a factor, but not the cause. Sometimes, eliminating the factors that may have caused secondary burning tongue syndrome can help.
