Suck on an ice cube or popsicle. The most obvious way to soothe a burning tongue is to use cold to combat the heat. You can suck on an ice cube, lick an ice cream cone or even drink a cold drink.

Eat yogurt. Yogurt is one of the most effective remedies for burning tongue because yogurt is very cool and soothing.
- Eat a spoonful of yogurt immediately after burning your tongue and suck it on for a few seconds before swallowing.
- You can eat natural Greek yogurt or any other yogurt, or try drinking a glass of cold milk. [1] X Research Source

Sprinkle sugar on the tongue. The most unique way to treat tongue burns is to sprinkle a little sugar on the burned tongue and wait for the sugar to melt. You should suck on the sugar for at least a minute for the pain to go away. The pain will quickly be relieved after you suck on the sugar.

Eat a spoonful of honey. Honey is a natural soothing agent, thus helping to relieve the pain of burning tongue. A spoonful of honey is enough to soothe a burned tongue.
- You just need to eat a spoonful of honey, then hold it on your tongue for a while before swallowing.
- Do not give honey to children under 12 months of age, because honey contains toxic spores that can lead to botulism syndrome in infants, even death. [2] X Research Source

Take vitamin E. Vitamin E works to treat burns and helps heal wounds by regenerating tongue tissue. You just need to cut a 1000 IU vitamin E capsule, then sprinkle vitamin E oil on the burned tongue area. [3] X Research Sources

Breathe through the mouth. This therapy may sound trivial, but breathing through your mouth (rather than through your nose) helps soothe a burning tongue because cold air hits your tongue as you inhale.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/71/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Soothe-a- Burnt-Tongue-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/71/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-7- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid salty and sour foods. When the tongue has not yet healed, you should avoid eating acidic foods such as tomatoes, fruits and citrus juices and vinegar. If you really crave sour, you can drink cold orange juice, because this drink has little effect and helps relieve pain while you drink. Besides, you should also avoid salty foods like potato chips to avoid irritating the burned tongue.

Use aloe. Aloe vera is a popular and natural burn pain reliever and treatment. Apply some aloe vera gel (removed directly from the plant, not store-bought aloe vera cream or gel) on the burned tongue. You should prepare in advance because the taste of aloe vera gel is not pleasant at all. You can also take aloe vera gel from the plant and freeze it into ice cubes, then put it in your tongue to ease the pain.
Apply pain relief therapy

Suck on cough tablets. You should look for cough tablets that contain benzocaine, menthp, or phenp. These ingredients have a local anesthetic effect, thus helping to numb the tongue and relieve pain. Anesthesia mouthwash also contains the above ingredients and helps treat tongue burns effectively.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d4/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Soothe-a- Burnt-Tongue-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d4/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-10- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Chew mint-flavored gum. Chewing gum containing menthol (menthp) helps activate heat and cold receptors on the tongue, thereby providing a feeling of coolness and comfort. Peppermint and spearmint flavored gum both contain menthp derivatives. [4] X Research Sources

Take pain relievers. If you’re experiencing extreme pain from burning your tongue, you might consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen (Paracetamp) or ibuprofen. These medications help relieve pain and reduce swelling.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/68/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Soothe-a- Burnt-Tongue-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/68/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-12- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid applying burn creams or ointments. Most burn creams and ointments are formulated for topical application only.
- You should not put these medications on your tongue because they contain ingredients that are toxic when swallowed.
- You are only allowed to apply burn creams and ointments specially formulated for the mouth.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Soothe-a- Burnt-Tongue-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-13- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Soothe-a-Burnt-Tongue-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Consider seeing a doctor. If the tongue burns painful and swollen for more than 7 days, you should see a doctor. Your doctor may prescribe stronger pain relievers to promote recovery.
- If the burning sensation in your tongue is spontaneous, and not caused by eating or drinking hot foods, you may have burning mouth syndrome. This syndrome is very painful and can affect many other areas of the mouth.
- If you suspect you have burning mouth syndrome, you should seek medical attention right away, as burning mouth can be a symptom of more serious conditions such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, depression or food allergies. [5] X Research Sources
Advice
- Do not numb the tongue before eating, because you may accidentally bite your tongue and aggravate the burn.
- You can sprinkle brown sugar over the ice cubes, then place the sugared ice on the burned tongue.
- If Orajel is not available, you can suck on some cloves, as this herb has the same anesthetic effect as Orajel.
- You can suck on ice and chew mint gum at the same time.
- You can eat or drink something cold like ice cream or ice to ease the pain.
Warning
- If you want to use ice, you should wet the ice before putting it in your tongue. Do not apply ice directly to the burned tongue because the ice may stick to the tongue and cause more pain.
- Honey is a popular home remedy. However, absolutely do not use honey to treat tongue burns in children under 12 months of age .
- Do not apply burn cream if you have a burn in your mouth. Most creams are for external use, not in the mouth. These creams can be harmful to health and lead to death.
- You should not treat serious injuries yourself. If serious injury is suspected, you should see a doctor.
- Do not use too much ointment. Ointments can numb your throat and put you at risk of swallowing belched stomach fluids or secretions from your mouth. [6] X Research Sources
