Ouch........: There's not much that you can do. Time will heal it. Avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods. You can try orajel or other topical anesthetic found at drugstores or supermarkets. Warm salt water rinses help some people. Whatever works best for you.

Ice is nice: Nerve endings on tongue can be painful to burns.Suck on an ice cube or use topical anesthetic or burn cream.
