That pizza looked so delicious, all melted cheese, you couldn't resist. But instead of enjoying it, you burned your tongue. The blisters on the tongue from burns are very painful. So obviously you can't wait to get rid of it. Well, you will succeed with the right approach and some medicine. Read step 1 to get started.
Steps
Step 1. Drink lots of water
Keep a bottle of water handy to keep your tongue hydrated or the blisters will be more painful.
Step 2. Gargle the water and salt for a change
It also serves to clean the blisters. Mix 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of salt together. Now it's time to gargle! Gargle for at least 30 seconds. Make sure the salt water covers your tongue.
Step 3. Eat cold foods like ice cream and popsicles, they help moisturize your mouth and treat blisters
They are also less painful to swallow.
Step 4. Avoid certain foods and drinks
Hot tea, hot coffee, acidic foods like lemon, tomato, and pasta sauce can irritate the blisters more.
Step 5. To get rid of infections, stop using supermarket-bought mouthwash until the blisters have healed
Instead, use something natural like cooling oils or baking soda paste and water. Do this three times a week to prevent the infection from spreading.
Step 6. Include garlic and ginger in your diet
However, don't overdo it if you don't want to stink!
Warnings
- See a doctor for any type of irritation to the mouth, body, stomach, and tongue.
- Don't go to the doctor at the last moment. It could be a serious infection inside your mouth or body and you won't notice it until you are in intensive care.
