Q. HI – Do you know if there is such a thing as a REAL CURE for dry mouth, burning tongue and roof of mouth? I tested negative for Sjogren’s, Diabetes, yeast infection, thrush, you name it. My GP says it is NOT from my meds, (I don’t believe them) sent me to ear/nose/throat doctor. After test results, he gave up, said he didn’t know what was wrong with my mouth, and that there was no need to return to him. Told me to go look up burning tongue on internet and see what others did for it. I tried Burnical herbal supposed CURE from Finland for 45 days, saw just a little difference. I find little very relief from Biotene mouthwash, use it all day long. Also chew lots of gum, constantly drink water. Never had chemo or radiation. I take BP meds, 1 diuretic for BP, & celebrex. There is another herbal from Australia for burning mouth I was thinking of trying (90 days). My dentist was no help. I want it to go away permanently. My mouth is not dry ALL the time, but sometimes my tongue sticks to roof of mouth, drives me crazy. Tip of tongue burns most of time. Any suggestions? Know anything about this ailment? If you can’t help, know anyone who might? Thanks a bunch.
A. I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation. I know that burning tongue and dry mouth syndrome are real problems. These are complex issues with multiple unknown etiologies that are still not understood. I do not know enough about these issues to offer any specific advice. I would recommend you continue your search but cannot offer much help. Dr. Lemongello
