How to Soothe the Burning Sensation of 'Pineapple Tongue', According to an ENT

Pineapple tongue, a burning and tingling sensation experienced by many after consuming pineapple, is not typically caused by an allergy but rather by an enzyme called bromelain found in the fruit. Bromelain breaks down protein in the mouth's lining, leading to irritation, and the natural acidity of pineapples can further exacerbate the discomfort. While the damage is usually mild and the tissue begins to heal itself after consumption, severe symptoms may indicate a pineapple allergy, which requires medical attention. To prevent pineapple tongue, avoiding the stem, rubbing salt on pineapple, soaking it in salt water, cooking it, or pairing it with dairy-based products can help mitigate the reaction.
