What's the best and fastest way to heal a scalded tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid re-injury: So nothing extremely cold or hot. Your tongue should recover rapidly. I assume you are talking about a typical food burn (coffee, anchovy pizza). Some believe that the epidermal growth factor in saliva may accelerate healing.
