Tongue is sore and burns. Have had some repertory problem, and sucks mints and lozenges for dryness in the mouth. Have tried rinsing with salt water. Did not help. Put some Gly-Oxide drops on tongue and roof of mouth. Not much help. Feels like tonge wants to stick to roof of mouth. Have several health issues. Have been taking Claritin-d. What can we do to aid the burning?
