Mouth burn: You burned the inside surface of your mouth. It will swell up and be quite painful. If unable to drink fluids due to pain, you may become dehydrated. You can get IV fluids if needed. If you feel that your mouth/tongue are swelling and you are having trouble breathing, go to the ER (don't drive yourself).
