What Causes Burnt And Acrid Sensation On My Tongue?
Hello, I've lost a taste on part of my tongue couple of weeks ago. All I can feel is kind of burnt and acrid sensation. Huge amount of papilae or whatever is it appeared on back of my tongue. My voice is a bit horse, I have sore throat and I feel pain on my chest and in my back. Could anyone kindly help please?
