There are multiple reasons for burning sensation of tongue like chronic systemic diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, lack of vitamins and minerals and many more. In your case the cause of burning sensation of tongue may be due to gastrointestinal disorder as you have described earlier in your medical history. Yes definitely the constipation is the major cause of oral disorders like mouth ulcers, burning sensation of tongue etc. Sometimes xerostomia (lack of salivation) causes the burning sensation of tongue. You did not tell about the time period of feeling burning sensation of tongue. If it is less than 15 days then it is due to any systemic infection otherwise chronic cause of burning sensation is due to any chronic systemic disorder. The acute cough and cold also causes the oral problems. Odynophagia (painful swallowing) is the major consequence of acute cough and cold. Drink plenty of water daily. Take the vitamin b complex supplements daily for 1 week. Maintain your oral hygiene. Use a good quality of mouthwash for regular use twice daily. Consult with a nearby dentist for oral problems and also make a consultation with medicine specialist (MD) for your systemic disorders. Never use excessive hot, spicy, sour (lemon, orange) food at the time period of your problem.

Dear Lybrate user, dry mouth and burning sensation in tongue can be due to several reasons like dry mouth which could be due to certain medications or reduced flow of saliva, some underlying nutritional deficiencies, overbrushing the tongue or overuse of mouthwash or some fungal infection of the mouth. The exact reason can be pointed out only after a proper checkup and consultation with a physician and dentist. I would advise her to keep herself hydrated and increase her water and fluid intake, she can chew on suagrless candy or sugarfree chewing gum to increase salivary flow, avoid eating heavily fried and spicy foods, she can start on some multiviatmin supplements if the doctor finds some nutritional deficiency. Take care.
