Reflux can cause buring up to the base of the tongue and can affect all of the mouth. Reflux can increase incidence of caries, and that is a serious concern too.

At this point, I am much more concerned about my teeth and my vocal chords than I am about the sensation. Just because I don't perform doesn't mean I am willing to give up the ability to sing. The burning is meaningful to me only because it suggests that the condition is as yet uncontrolled. If my mouth burns, my vocal chords are almost certainly getting washed over with peptic acid.
