Hello. Burning sensation on tongue for the past 10 days with rough feeling and slight bleeding after using a tongue cleaner is usually due to local irritation, nutritional deficiency, fungal infection, acidity, dehydration or stress related causes.
Kindly stop using tongue cleaner forcefully for a few days and maintain gentle oral hygiene. You can do warm salt water rinses 3–4 times daily and stay well hydrated. Avoid very spicy, hot and acidic foods.
It is advisable to get a clinical oral examination done. Your doctor may suggest blood tests (like Vitamin B12 / Iron levels) or prescribe topical gel / antifungal mouth paint if required.
If burning sensation persists more than 1–2 weeks, increases, or you notice white/red patches, ulcers or difficulty in eating, please visit a dentist or oral physician for proper evaluation.
Take care 🙂
