    1. Suffering from burning tongue, burning on gums from where teeth removed. Mouth on the whole is having a scalded feeling. Mouth seems badly injured, burning inside even though there are no ulcers. Ofcourse tongue is whitish with red tip. I have been taking khali mur 6x, ferrum phos 6x with spite improvement. I am 76. I desist from going outside because of covid 19. Moreover capable doctors are not available. Please advise medicine.

    2. My burning mouth syndrome has lasted over a year and increasingly becomes worse. I have been to many doctors with not even one solution or attempt to control pain. I would welcome any clinical trial to attempt to relieve pain. I am depressed since my quality of life has been affected severely. I would welcome any comments. Thank you.
