With Painful Mouth Syndrome it only affects my tongue. My tongue feels like it is on fire 24/7. My tongue is burning. The discomfort feel as though I have blisters on my tongue. My tongue stings.

There are many potential causes (for example infection, nerve issue, maybe even a vitamin deficiency or side effect from a medicine you are taking). So I would take some further healthcare advice to find out the underlying cause. It could be something easily sorted.

Hope you feel better very soon. Let us know how you get on.

My HIV doctor never heard of it. And doesn’t have a clue how to treat it.
