Seek treatment: It sounds like you may have sustained some 3rd degree burns in your mouth. The best course of action is for you to seek immediate medical attention. I hope this helps. If you have sustained serious burns in your mouth and on your lips, you need emergent care. Good luck. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000030.htm
