Burnig Tongue
by me_me1737, Jun 06, 2006 12:00AM
About 3 weeks ago I burned my tongue on some hot coffee. I did not think much about it then but the feeling has not gone away. My tongue is white and sensative. the front stings a little bit and the back has the burning feeling. I have been under a great deal of stress and anxiety lately and my mouth is constanley dry. If I eat something my tongue feels better for a little bit, but once I drink cold water the sting comes back.Te taste buds int the back appear to be swollen also. Could I have done some permanent damage to it.

You may have, but to be sure you should see your dentist or an oral surgeon. It is too difficult to tell without seeing you for an exam. Most likely, it is taking a long time to heal and should get better with time.
