I THINK I HAVE AN AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO SOME MOUTHWASH.  MY TONGUE IS BURNING AND FEELS LIKE IT HAS BEEN SHREDDED.   MY NURSE PRACTITIONER SAID I COULD HOLD AN ANTIACID LIQUID IN MY MOUTH FOR A FEW SECONDS TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP.  SHE SAID IT WOULD HELP, BUT SO FAR IT HASNT .   NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE DISCONTINUED THE MOUTHWASH THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM.  IS THIS A COMMON REACTION .  NO ALCOHOL IN THE MOUTHWASH.

### output:

Hello, There can be several reasons for burning in mouth or tongue and mouthwash is one of the cause. But to tell precisely if it is due to mouthwash it can be decided only if burning started after using mouth wash. There are several preservatives, color agents in it which can trigger burning. This can be stopped by either diluting the mouthwash with water or discontinuing after 15 days of use. The other causes can be diseases like diabetes mellitus, vitamin deficiencies, anemia , ulcers in oral cavity. It would be better if you can send an attachment photograph of tongue to find whether there is any redness, ulceration. It will be my pleasure to assist you further in this matter. You may need to stop mouthwash, use vitamins, treat anemia or ulcers but all that would be decided by examination and further case history. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
