A member asked:

Does famotidine cause burning tongue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not typical: Burning tongue is not a typical side effect of famotidine. Gerd can certainly cause this. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

It hurts to eat or drink anything. I have severe gas and indigestion in my upper chest. Constant burning and more severe when i eat or drink any thing. Pain is 8 on (1-10) scale. Gaviscon and Pepcid (famotidine) are giving minimal temporary relief.
