Weird mouth sensation

15 replies

Hi,

For the past five days I've had this weird mouth sensation. It's like I've drunk a shot of that horrible blue aftershock drink or brushed my teeth with the most menthol based toothpaste ever. This cool, burning sensation. It's around my lips, across my gums, my tongue, roof of my mouth and now this morning down my throat too. Nothing has changed with what I eat or drink. Nothing I eat or drink alleviates it either. It doesn't taste, it FEELS.

What is it? Anyone else had this and know what it is??

Oral thrush?

BertieBotts · 18/03/2022 10:09

Yes it could be thrush. Go to a pharmacy.

Acid reflux?

If it were thrush, wouldn’t it have symptoms like sore patches and white bits?

Another voice for burning mouth syndrome, what age group are you?

Agree with pp, I get the burning mouth thing several times a year. Its usually a good indicator that I am run down so I drink more water, take a multivit and make sure I get a good night's sleep. By day 3 its calmed right down.

Interesting that you say this- I have just spent 8 days sleeping on a hospital chair next to my daughter. Not much sleep, lots of stress and feeling very run down

I get this when pregnant!

AdaColeman · 18/03/2022 13:00

Simple things that might help alleviate the discomfort are sipping chilled water and sucking slivers of crushed ice.
I agree it's very much stress related, so get as much rest as you can, easier said than done of course.
I hope this distressing condition soon resolves for you. Thanks

Have you been to the doctor about the weight loss? I take it you didn't lose the weight intentionally?

You might be best creating your own post so that more people see it.
