I am 29 years old , Married and have two children and my weight is 55 Kgs. I am currently taking anti- depressants, tranquilizers , etc. I used to eat raw rice before i got married and had stopped after getting married but now since a year or two i have been eating quiet a bit of white long grained rice (Basmati) without washing. Today i am having a burning or rather a very funny feeling inside my mouth (on the top part of the part)
