How to soothe a burnt tongue..?

Question

I drank my hot chocolate way too fast and now it's all burnt on the tongue and the roof of the mouth. The freezer has been dismantled 'cos we are moving, so no ice or ice cream. Please help, it bloody hurts!! :(

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Well, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do and you probably know it will be okay in a day or two.  However, try a little gel that you use for a toothache.  It is an oral anesthetic.  Couldn't hurt!

Answer 2

Ah, I hate that so much. Just don't think about it. It'll be over in a day.

Anything cool at all will help! Maybe just drink some water. Hope you get over your burnt tongue!

Answer 3

Ouch I hate when I do that.  Milk does help ease the pain some, but in less than a day it will feel fine.  That time will seem to drag by though.

Answer 4

Milk...or a Diet Coke

I did that on a hot pocket today..dumb microwave!!
