I don't really suffer burning mouth much anymore, I believe since I started on Nortriptyline too. What I would do is brush my teeth with no toothpaste, kind of a massage of sorts, or just swish cold water in my mouth. I'm all for alka seltzer too, works for me. My hubbie has poly-rhuematica ???and is in great agony, I have sent him off to work with it(he works out of town) and I hope it helps him as well!
