I have a strong taste and feeling in my mouth it affects my tongue inside of my mouth and does not go away only gets much worse at times. sometimes feels like my tongue is on fire or i have had something too hot in my mouth and left feeling sore. I seem to have a lot of saliva in my mouth and seem to suck to dry it.

I have had Burning Mouth sydrome for over a year now. Like yours it is worse at times. Tea tastes foul when its bad. I have been sent to specialist at Oral Surgery Unit at the hospital. At the same time as I had this my ongoing back and neck problems were bad so started to take a low dose of Amytriptyline ,it not only helped my back but the burning mouth disapeared.
Funnily enough this was confirmed as something that would have been used to treat it.
If I stop taking it it does come back but not as bad as before. It made life really miserable.
I did Google Burning Mouth and it does mention trapped nerves also mentioned older women, which I am
I had root canal treatment 3 years ago, but all seemed ok then. I spoke to my dentist this week who said it was very rare.
At the same time as having this my tongue was white, I was told not to scrape it off as the tongue would produce more. It was not thrush.
THe only way I coped with it before Amitriptyline was to suck blackcurrant glycerine cough sweets or a granule of sea salt.
I take Levothyroxine and do have metal allergy which is a concern with metal in the mouth.
Good luck .

I was fine this morning until my husband made me tea, not in a pot but in the mug, after I had drunk it my mouth lips and throat burnt and still is four hours later I have tried other drinks and have no burning . I am at a loss to know what is causing this , its grim. My gut feeling is mine is an allergy. Bang goes my theory on amitryptline.
I took zantac for indegestion last week and it made it worse.
