Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a burning sensation in my mouth while taking food. What could be the reason?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your first query consult is on us!

The burning sensation in the mouth occurs commonly due to mouth ulcers (a break in the epithelial lining of the mouth). This can occur after some illness or due to stress, etc. This is a self-limiting and will heal spontaneously. If it does not heal, then it can have other underlying causes like reflux disease, vitamin deficiency, anemia, etc. which need attention. I would like to have more details to help you better.

1. Duration of the burning sensation.

2. Do you have any burning sensation in the food pipe while swallowing?

3. What measures have you taken to relieve this pain?

4. Your age and any drugs you take.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert with details in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
