Pollen Allergy (Hay Fever)
Commonly triggered by grass, tree, or weed pollen, causing allergic reactions in the nasal passages, throat, and mouth. Burning tongue can occur as a reaction. Typically seasonal, occurring in spring and late summer.
Oral Allergy Syndrome
Caused by cross-reacting allergens found in both pollen and raw fruits, vegetables, or some nuts. Burning or itching of the mouth and tongue may occur. Commonly seen in the spring and autumn.
Food Allergy
An immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a particular food. Burning tongue may be part of the symptoms. This is a non-seasonal allergy.
Dust Mite Allergy
An allergic reaction to tiny bugs that commonly live in house dust. Burning tongue might be part of the larger allergic response. This is a non-seasonal allergy as dust mites can persist year-round.
Animal Dander Allergy
Caused by exposure to tiny flakes of skin or hair from pets. May cause reactions in the mouth or throat when inhaled. There is no specific season, as it depends on exposure.
Mold Allergy
Triggered by breathing in mold spores, often leading to symptoms affecting the respiratory system and oral mucosa. Risk increases during damp, rainy periods, particularly in late summer and fall.
