I had finally gone to emergency room for the hot burning mouth. The PA was pretty sharp! She treated me and stopped the burning with a recommendation I see a gastrologist to get an esophagus scope which I did. My doctor and the gastrologist didn’t have high hopes for stopping the burning prior to procedure. After the diagnosis of silent reflux and Barrett’s, with reflux needing treatment, it was trial to see if reflux treatment would stop the burning mouth/tongue. After about 3 weeks of treatment I noticed the extra dose of sucralfate in the middle of the night was stopping the burning. I kept taking medicine prescribed and within 30 days I was having a lot less burning. Recovery is not quick.
