Not straight out the freezer - will get stuck to it!
Open mouth wide, stick tongue out and breathe in and out on it (best not in public)- should help to soothe it...

Thanks..i did do the water thing last night,
but it still very sore.

Bonjela makes me scream.

My grandmother's cure was to stick it in milk. Doubt it will do much good now though!

Oh you poor thing. What did you burn it on?

Run down to the shop and buy an ice lolly.

On second thoughts what about a sore throat lozenge, the numbing type?

thanks all, gotta go on school run now, will pop into chemists on way.

Chinese spring roll...shoved in mouth whilst serving up curry!

Probably very hot/ oil burn. Gargle/swish mouth with soluble asperin?

sagacious · 23/04/2008 15:39

I've heard the milk thing as well

I know it works if you've eaten a mega death chilli

Have been to the chemist....showed them my tongue... apparently a mouthwash is best!
Also taken pain killers.
i want a cuppa but it hurts too much.
Thanks all.
