Burnt Tongue

United States

Last night was not a good night for my tongue. First off my lips always seem to be chapped and I never seem to have my chapstick with me. I always lose that stuff and can never seem to rememeber where I put it either. Well, my friend made chocolate chip cookies from scratch and gave me some of them. Well, later that night I popped one in the microwave for just a few seconds and it was a few seconds too long. Now the inside of my bottom lip and the roof of my mouth is burnt and rubbed raw. Then the guy I am seeing made us chicken noodle soup for dinner. He always makes and warms things up way too hot. He has made me hot chocolate that was way too hot, apple cider that was boiling, pasta and so many more things that heat wise is just way too hot. He will put a simple sandwich or piece of chicken in the microwave for 3 or 4 minutes and it is scalding hot when it comes out. Well, I took a bite of the soup and should have known it would be hot. Now the whole bottom half of my tongue is also burnt and my taste buds are so swollen. Everything I eat or drink now just hurts and I can't taste it. I can't wait for my tongue to feel better.

It takes time to heal. But I am sure you will be fine soon. The best first aid is to apply some ice for first 24 hours.
