Hi, all such conditions are very difficult to diagnose as they have the same type of features which patients experience. Firstly it's advisable to relieve your symptoms. Please avoid spicy food for some time. The kind of job you are into can be very stressful so please reduce your stress levels by daily yoga, exercise and meditation. Start eating lots of green vegetables and fruits. Take vitamin supplements for a month after consultation from a doctor. Orally u can apply ointments to relief the burning sensation.
Next Steps
visit an oral pathologist. if you have deposits on teeth get a good cleaning done.
Health Tips
