Tongue burning and irritation
Hello doc
Before one and half month my tongue alone burning. I went to ent doctor, he examined my whole mouth and said everything is clear, burning is due to vitamin deficiency. He gave vitamin tablet, that time I had a gas trouble problem also. so he gave acidity tablet for one month, now course was fully over now the burning is rectified but when I ate spicy or oilly food I have mild tongue irritation.
My question is, is this normal? can I leave as it is? If I leave any major problem will be in future or should I go to doctor? If yes whom do I want to visit (specilization)
pls reply as soon as possible.
