A burning or spicy sensation even with non-spicy food is often a sign of acid reflux (GERD) or gastritis, where stomach acid irritates the food pipe and throat lining. Antacids like Gelusil provide only short-term relief and may not be sufficient if acid production is persistently high â a stronger acid-suppressing medication taken for a longer duration is usually needed. Since your symptoms have not resolved with basic treatment, a gastroenterology evaluation including possibly an endoscopy is the appropriate next step.
Next Steps
Please consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

New onset gastritis symptom if not not improved by Antacids or PPI double dose ( e.g pantop 40mg BD), for 2 weeks, I will strongly recommend you to do an Endoscopy. But will prefer to know about other red flag symptoms also.

Hi, the burning feeling even with normal food is common and is due to acidity or reflux.
Continue avoiding fried, spicy, and heavy meals. Take small frequent meals, and try Gelusil or an antacid after food.
If it persists, feel free to consult for further guidance.

A persistent spicy/burning sensation in the mouth can be due to acid reflux (GERD), vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron, folate), oral infections, dry mouth, or Burning Mouth Syndrome.
Since the ENT specialist has already prescribed multivitamins and Gelusil, continue them as advised. Avoid very hot, spicy, acidic foods, alcohol, and tobacco.
If symptoms persist for more than 2â4 weeks, consult your doctor again for evaluation of vitamin levels, blood sugar, and possible reflux-related causes.

It can be incredibly frustrating to deal with a constant burning or "spicy" sensation in your mouth, especially when you are eating completely mild foods and the initial treatments haven't given you relief.
The fact that an ENT prescribed a multivitamin and Gelusil (an antacid) shows they were testing two common culprits: acid reflux irritating the throat/mouth, and vitamin deficiencies (like B12 or iron) which can cause oral burning. Since those haven't resolved the issue and your blood tests came back normal, it is time to look at the next step in the clinical puzzle.
When structural issues, basic reflux, and obvious vitamin deficiencies are ruled out, I typically look into a few specific conditions:
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS): This is a condition characterized by a burning, scalding, or tingling sensation in the mouth (tongue, roof of the mouth, or lips) that occurs without an obvious physical cause. It can make normal foods feel spicy, hot, or intensely irritated. It is often related to mild nerve sensitivity in the mouth.
Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR): Sometimes called "silent reflux," this happens when stomach acid travels all the way up to the throat and back of the mouth. Unlike classic heartburn, it might not cause a burning chest, but it can leave the tissues in your mouth so raw and inflamed that even non-spicy foods feel painful or spicy. A one-week course of Gelusil may simply not have been strong enough or long enough to heal the tissue.
Geographic Tongue or Oral Lichen Planus: These are benign inflammatory conditions of the mouth that can make the surface of the tongue highly sensitive to certain textures, temperatures, or mild spices.

Maintain good oral hygiene, stay well hydrated, avoid tobacco, alcohol, very hot foods, and excessive mouthwash use. If symptoms persist beyond a few weeks despite normal investigations, Burning Mouth Syndrome should be considered and may require specific treatment.
Next Steps
Seek prompt review if there are oral ulcers, white/red patches, weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or neck swelling.

The sensation of foods tasting “spicy” or causing a burning feeling even when they are not spicy can occur due to several reasons, including:
• Acid reflux (GERD) causing irritation of the throat and tongue
• Burning Mouth Syndrome
• Vitamin deficiencies (especially B12, iron, folate, zinc)
• Dry mouth or reduced saliva production
• Oral fungal infection (candidiasis)
Since your symptoms have persisted despite one week of treatment and routine blood tests are normal, I would recommend a detailed oral examination and consultation with a physician or gastroenterologist. Additional investigations such as vitamin level assessment, oral cavity evaluation, and assessment for acid reflux may be required.
Next Steps
Give some history about
Smoking
Any infection
Any alterations in mucosa of mouth
