Been too greedy with that pizza? Burning your tongue is painful. It often remains sensitive for a few days, but you can ease the pain.
One problem, four solutions:a burnt tongue.
When you've burned your mouth, run to the fridge and take a big gulp of milk. Milk won't really ease the pain, but it will leave a protective layer behind. No milk in the house? A spoonful of yogurt works the same. Hopefully this trick will help you avoid getting even worse on the next bite.

Reduce the pain by sucking on an ice cube. Unfortunately, it only relieves the pain temporarily.
Some tablets for sore throat contain ingredients that have a mild anesthetic. Let such a tablet melt on your tongue to ease the pain.
Ultimately, the best thing you can do is wait patiently. Eating will be uncomfortable for a few days. Eating soft food is less painful.
Finally, a heads up:wounds in your mouth heal relatively quickly.
If you have badly burned your tongue (and esophagus), your doctor can prescribe an anesthetic gel. Have you not burned your tongue, but have the feeling that you have? In that case, it may also be wise to contact your doctor.
