Bubbles
Frequently, small pimples or blisters appear on the affected area after tongue burns. They are the result of tissue damage and are absolutely harmless. Sometimes they can also occur after eating particularly spicy or sour food.
After appropriate meals, the oral cavity should therefore be cleaned sufficiently. Basically, pimples on the tongue should not be touched with the fingers or otherwise. Attempts to “squeeze out” pimples are not recommended because germs can easily get in and cause inflammation.
In order to accelerate the healing of the disturbing pustules, thorough oral hygiene should be ensured. Antibacterial mouthwashes or herbal solutions of chamomile, arnica or sage are suitable for this purpose. For acute pain relief, ice cubes can be used. In almost all cases, the pimples on the tongue disappear on their own after a few days.
Duration
Basically, a burn of the tongue heals within about five days. Of course, the healing time depends on the severity of the burn, the size of the wound and individual factors. If the burn is particularly severe and extends into deeper tissue layers, taste receptors (“taste buds”) may also be affected.
Their regeneration usually requires a longer period of time. Nevertheless, taste disorders or a furry or numb feeling on the tongue disappear within a few weeks.
