Arnav, this looks most likely like a combination of burning mouth syndrome + reflux sensitivity. It is not dangerous, but uncomfortable. With proper evaluation (especially vitamin levels & reflux tests), you can recover and eat normally again.

A persistent burning sensation in the mouth, especially when eating spicy foods, might be related to a condition known as burning mouth syndrome (BMS). This condition can cause a burning or scalding sensation in the mouth without an obvious physical cause. BMS can be linked to various factors including nutritional deficiencies (like B12, iron, or folic acid), hormonal changes, dry mouth, or even psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. Since it’s been ongoing for 8-9 months and you’re unable to tolerate spicy foods, further investigation is warranted. I would recommend getting a detailed blood panel if not already done to check for any deficiencies or other abnormalities. Additionally, check for any recent changes in medications that might coincide with the onset of symptoms, as certain medications can contribute to a dry mouth or alter taste. Checking in with a dental professional might also be worthwhile to rule out any oral health issues. Ensuring adequate fluid intake and considering the use of an oral moisturizer or saliva substitute may help if dry mouth is a contributing factor. Diet modifications to avoid irritable foods, alcohol, and tobacco are advisable, and focusing on gentle oral care can help alleviate symptoms. If stress or anxiety seem to be contributing, explore stress-management techniques or consult with a psychologist or counselor. If current visits haven’t brought relief, you might want to see a specialist like an oral pathologist or a neurologist, as they can often provide deeper insights into complex or persistent cases like this. Avoid ignoring prolonged symptoms, as they can sometimes point to bigger underlying issues that need addressing.
