This definitely needs careful evaluation as there can be multiple causes like Burning mouth syndrome, allergies, nutritional deficiencies, yeast infections, etc. Kindly get relevant tests done after consulting with an ENT specialist.

Hello, I understand your concern. A red, burning tongue that persists for years is not a simple issue — it usually indicates an underlying condition that needs proper evaluation and targeted treatment. This condition is commonly seen in: Possible Causes: Vitamin deficiencies (especially Vitamin B12, Iron, Folic acid) Burning Mouth Syndrome Acid reflux or gastrointestinal issues Hormonal imbalance Fungal infection (oral candidiasis) Nerve irritation or sensitivity to certain foods/chemicals These conditions cannot be cured just with home remedies. To treat it permanently, we must find the root cause through proper evaluation and blood tests. Immediate Relief Tips: Avoid spicy, sour, and very hot foods Drink cold milk or apply glycerin for temporary relief Ensure good oral hygiene Avoid toothpaste with strong chemicals (use mild herbal paste) But for Complete Cure: This requires a personalized treatment plan based on your mother’s medical history, diet, and reports. With the right guidance, this condition can be fully treated — many of my patients have recovered even after suffering for years. For a one-on-one consultation and complete treatment plan, message me on WhatsApp: Nine Three Two Six Zero Two Zero Five Three Six I will guide you step-by-step to identify the root cause and start the exact treatment needed to cure this permanently. Don’t delay further — the sooner we act, the faster she will feel relief.
