By Mayo Clinic staffBurning mouth syndrome can be painful and frustrating, especially since it can take months or years to get a diagnosis and effective treatment. Because of that, it can reduce your quality of life if you don't take steps to stay positive and hopeful.
Consider some of these techniques to help cope with burning mouth syndrome:
- Practice relaxation exercises, such as yoga.
- Join a pain support group.
- Engage in pleasurable activities, such as exercise or hobbies, especially when you feel anxious.
- Make an effort to stay socially active by connecting with understanding family and friends.
