What is the quick remedy when we burn our taste-buds while consuming a hot drink?

When your tongue is really burnt, below are the first reach techniques to reduce the burn quickly:

• Constantly touch with your tongue the surface of bottle of cold water, just taken from a refrigerator. (take care that the bottle surface should be clean and tidy)
• Lick a piece of butter , so that butter instantly accept the temperature from your tongue by melting itself down. Thus causing less burn.
• For some, where butter is allergic, good suggestion is ghee or honey wax(if it is edible and reachable in your locality)

Post applying these techniques, please

• Avoid taking warm or hot drinks and food for a while. This provides tongue enough cooling window to heal the burnt part.
• Also, try to avoid spicy food as it increases the body temperature and can affect the situation of your tongue.
• Better suggestion is to have the food which does not ask too much work from your taste buds.

These simple techniques can reduce the discomfort. As tongue heals fast, just keep it cool.

I've found that a few minutes rinsing with baking soda and water soothes the tongue.

I have put regular white granulated sugar on my tongue when I have burned it.
