Hello,
Burning mouth is a common symptom for variety of underlying conditions... what is important to know is, not every ulcer is managed with vit supplements.. you may have seen for some it helps while for some it's just chronic...
It's very important to know why is it burning in first place and then depending on that you must manage it .. or else it's like shooting on air without knowing what your body wants to tell you.
Next Steps
visit an oral medicine specialist to get accurate diagnosis and prompt management. Till then apply mucopain gel before 10mim meals to help you cope with it.
Health Tips
always remember it's best to show up to Oral Medicine specialist in such cases as they have intense knowledge on how systemic diseases can be seen in oral cavity.. so treatment is to the point.

Namaskaram, Burning sensation in the mouth could be due to a variety of reasons. Vitamin deficiency, certain medications, smoking and alcohol consumption or spicy food could be behind the curtains. They initiate dryness in the mouth which causes the sensation. Chewing gums which contain Xylitol can help increase the saliva production to cope with dryness. Smoking and oral health, don't go well together. It is always best to run to a physician as he would be able to guide you to rule out vitamin deficiency and provide appropriate medications. Or your online food delivery can be non spicy. Team Shambhala.
