1

Sip cool water

Drinking cold water can help soothe a burnt tongue and keep it hydrated while easing the discomfort on the tongue.

Eat cold food

Chilled foods like ice cream, and yogurt can help relieve the burning sensation in your mouth. Remember to drink water after, to flush out the food particles completely.

3

Rinse with salt water

Salt water can reduce pain and swelling caused by tongue burns due to its antibacterial qualities. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm salty water to avoid infection.

4

Try honey
