My oncologist attributes it to nerve regeneration. I live in Canada and recently discovered that my tongue is sensitive to cold weather as well. My main issue is trying to get relief from the burning, which can last for quite a while. I recently returned to work part time, and am experiencing the burn after talking more than usual. I will try the flat soda water.
Thanks for your responses.
