Nothing: It sounds like a superficial heat injury. As long as you have no blistering or sores it is ok to do nothing. The taste buds will return. Just be careful in the future with hot foods.

Let: Let your own body heal it. Nothing special you have to do. It should heal on its own in no time. If necessary, consult with your own dentist.
