Burning/Itchy tongue

[JayneIndigo]

I have had a burning/itchy tongue, particularly worsening into the evening.  My tongue becomes painful if I try to chew minty gum, or use toothpaste or mouthwash.  I've found that some nights it even swells up a little.  What could be causing this problem?  I've had it for nearly a year. :(

its probably because u literally burned it , maybe by drinking something hot because it wouldn't be for no reason

If there is no systemic or local disease contributing to burning tongue condition, clonazepam lozenge is the treatment of choice. In addition, nutritional supplement Vitamin B1,B6,B12, folic acid , alpha lipoid acid, as well as omega3 fatty acid may also be helpful.
