Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Put an ice cube in your mouth immediately to lessen the pain and minimize the swelling and additional irritation that may occur.
2

Gargle with cold water or eat a frozen ice pop. This will provide temporary relief from minor pain caused by the burn.
3

Avoid foods that are "sharp" in taste and texture. Spicy foods can increase pain, and sharp foods, such as chips or nut brittle, can aggravate a lesion.
4

Treat the burn or lesion with an over-the-counter pectin ointment or topical mouth analgesic containing benzocaine. Apply the medication directly to the burn to protect as well as heal.
