2. Burning mouth syndrome

Burning mouth syndrome is another possible cause of tingling tongue, mouth, and lips. Dry mouth often accompanies this syndrome, as do changes in the sense of taste and a metallic taste. The root causes include yeast infection, vitamin B12 deficiency, and diabetes. Burning mouth syndrome impacts two percent of people, mainly women who are postmenopausal. Avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods may alleviate the condition.
