Hello Sandra, Burning mouth syndrome can be quite challenging, especially when it persists over time. Here are some suggestions that might help alleviate the symptoms without resorting to more medications:
Ensuring she gets a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is crucial, as deficiencies in nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc can sometimes contribute to symptoms. Staying well-hydrated can also help alleviate dry mouth, which may worsen the burning sensation.
It might be beneficial to reduce consumption of acidic or spicy foods, alcohol, and tobacco, as these can exacerbate symptoms. Encouraging her to avoid mouthwashes containing alcohol could also be beneficial. Since stress can also worsen symptoms, activities like yoga, meditation, or other relaxation techniques might provide some relief.
Maintaining good oral hygiene without using irritating substances can help. Using a mild, SLS-free toothpaste and a soft toothbrush could be beneficial. I hope she is ok x
