A virus?: You may have burned your tongue without realizing it or you could have a virus. Try rinsing with warm salt water (8 ounces of warm water to 2 tsp of salt). Also drink more water to help you flush the virus out of your body. Cough drops can help with pain as can cold drinks and popscicles. If not better in 48 hours or if you have difficulty talking or swallowing call your doctor.

Yeast infection: Burning tongue can also be from a candida (yeast) infection. If you've been on antibiotics or have a depressed immune symptom it cause cause that sensation.
