8-Place sugar or honey on your tongue.

No, this isn’t just an excuse for a sweet treat. Believe it or not, placing either sugar or honey directly onto the burn can help soothe the pain, and it may even help speed the healing process. Let it sit on the area for a few minutes, then rinse your mouth with plain water.

• You can use white sugar, caster sugar, or brown sugar for this—whatever you have on hand.
