Members responded warmly to a question about canker sores and burning tongue, with many sharing that they experience the same issues and offering a range of helpful remedies. Several members suggested supplements like L-lysine, B12, riboflavin, and folic acid, while others recommended products like Listerine 6, Biotene gel, Xerostom saliva gel, and a water-and-peroxide rinse. A recurring theme was the importance of checking iron and B12 levels, looking into Burning Mouth Syndrome, and seeing a doctor if symptoms persist.

I get them. They go away with the Listerine 6 . If you want to try that before paying for doc. It has to be the one that treats 6 and it is minty or purple....doesn't taste or smell medicine y like the old Listerine.

I get it when I'm stressed or dealing with devastating situation like grief (last few weeks). Yes, I had it. It has started to dry up now.
I use Tiger Balm on it.

Charlene I get burning, dry mouth and tongue. I use Xerostom artificial saliva gel which helps.

Hi Carlene๐Ÿ’—... I know some meds can do that, and also inhalers and steroids do it to some people. There are over the counter mouth rinses for it. You might ask the pharmacist... if it persists you might see your Dr. I hope you find some relief soon my friend๐Ÿ’œ. Sending you big hugs with a lot of love๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’—, Love u, Deb
