Can orajel be used for a burned tongue? i have developed a sore spot on my tongue, possibly from a burn. can i use orajel for the pain, or is it only for the other parts of the mouth?

You : You mentioned that the sore spot developed. Did it occur over a period of time, or immediately after you ate something hot? How long have you had it? Has it been getting worse? Burns will heal themselves rather quickly. Have you been to a dentist for an exam? Do you smoke? Do you use chewing tobacco? Oral lesions can be serious. If this is not a burn you need to have it diagnosed and treated quickly. I suggest you have it looked at and diagnosed by professional.

The : The problem with using orajel on your tongue, is that it will quickly be washed away by your saliva. My advice is to take tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil, suck on ice cubes or drink cool water. Lastly gargle with warm salt water, which will help it heal faster. Best of luck, .

Burned tongue: Orajel could be used anywhere in the mouth .But it is only temporary till you see your dentist for the proper diagnosis and treatment .The prolonged use of orajel could cause a chemical burn
