My husband just used the deep fryer to make some french fries and I ate one without realizing that it hadn't cooled down. The hot oil burned my tongue. How can I make it feel better? I drank a glass of milk and some cold water and it only helps for a second.
Answer:
The tongue has a good blood supply: it should heal quite quickly
put ice on it or eat ice cream or something really cold
Try rinsing your mouth out with a little warm salt water a few times a day. That should hopefully help.
I've heard you put sugar on your tongue.
As long as you can stand it suck on ice cubes because that takes away the burning sentation. If that does not work for you get a bottle of peroxide and fill a cup with equal parts peroxide and preferably distilled water and swish it around your mouth a couple times a day and that should help it within a few days.
salt water - just hold it in your mouth for a few minutes then spit it outice cubesvitamin E - break the capsule and put the gel on your tongue. Try to leave it undisturbed as long as possible.
It will not heal it, but sucking ice cubes will relieve the burning sensation by numbing the area.
