I use AlkaSeltzer for severe burning. It blocked the burning I had with the last virus I had. If you cannot take aspirin, then there is another version, called AlkaSeltzer Gold, which is similar to TriSalts. But it typically needs to be special ordered.
It might have even been discontinued by now, given how often OTC products get reformulated.

I still think you should do the carnitine. See if that helps too.
