burning in mouth caused by saliva glands ? Posted: 01-03-08 16:26pm
Since I was little I would always get this
sharp intense pain as soon as I put food
in my mouth start to chew my food. Right
as it touches my cheek inside my mouth I
would get the pain. It's just an intense
burning feeling that makes me cringe
everytime it happens. It lasts for about 3
seconds and then goes away. The weird
thing is, this only happens the first or
second time I begin to eat. After that it
doesn't happen anymore. It happens on both
sides of my faces depending on which side
the food goes in. The pain feels like it
is in the nerves that originate right in
front of my ear. Sometimes I can feel it
slightly if I think about it and move my
saliva around.
Does anyone know what this could be? Could
it be the saliva glands?
