"Chloraseptic lozenges did not help my particular condition and I suspect that I developed Burning Mouth Syndrome as a result of using them for4/5 days (I consumed 12 in that period). I am still waiting for the BMS to subside. I have not used any lozenges for the past 2 days. My tongue and mouth roof are still burning and I cannot stand drinking anything but tap water or milk."
