Drink cold fluids: You can try drinking cold fluids/eating ice cream or other cold/cool foods. Avoid spicy or hot foods/fluids for now. You can try taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen if you don’t have a medical condition which doesn’t allow you to take them. If you see blister, get a fever, or the pain doesn’t get better, please see your doctor.
