Dear Dr. Phil

[Johno6]

Ok so i have a issue i was wondering if anyone could help

Last fridya night at pub they brought out the platters as they do every fri night at the pub...

I was extremely hungry so i grabbed a mini pie and tried to eat it as quickly as possible so i could hurry and get another assorted goody from the tray..

But when i took a bit it was sooooo frickin hot it burnt the absolute shit out of the top of my mouth, i couldnt spit it out so i had to try swallow it straight away.



Anyway long story short my mouth was burnt pretty bad and it still **** kills, its gotten worse.. whats the best way to heal it... is rinsing mouth with Warm water and salt a good idea?


Thanks

[Mr Beefy]

Rinse it repeatedly over several hours with your favourite beer

[A Mum]

Ouch !!

I'm not sure that Dr Phil deals with these kinds of issues Johno

I think you should go to the doctor??

Normally salty water is good for tooth extracts, ulsers etc, but I'm not sure about a 'burn' in the mouth.

Actually...
Psyber might know

[Q.]

The mouth heals pretty quickly, I would avoid the salt (would you put salt on any external burns - HELL NO!) as it could just aggravate it. Give it time and it will heal, probably just avoid hard or sharp foods.

[Footy Chick]

suck on some ice.

[Johno6]

i was sucking on the ice from my drinks at the casino sat night..... did not help.

altho teh alcohol in teh drinks didnt either...... the next day, at the time they did i was that drunk i couldve had a broken jaw n not known

[Psyber]

I'd go with lukewarm very slightly salty water to make it near isotonic, and avoid anything damaging like alcohol, acidic juices, too much salt.
If the burns are superficial the mucous membrane should grow back rapidly.
If it does not settle fast - over a few days - or is getting more painful, see your GP in case the burns are not just superficial.

Ice is useful immediately after the burn to cool the tissues quickly and minimise damage, but not much use later.

[Johno6]

so drinkin sat night def made it worse?
it seem slike its gettin better ine one way, but in another it still absolutely kills.
i just want it to be gone so i can eat normally....
i had vegemite on toast tues morning... worst idea ever

[A Mum]

I think you'd better stick to non-acidic foods for a while Johno

Yep - that's too much salt!

[Johno6]

[Q.]

Jars of baby food.

[MightyEagles]

[Dirko]

Listerine....lots and lots of Listerine....

Just don't swallow it !

BTW, serves you right for being a pig

[Johno6]

im diabetic.... so foods need to be sugar free also... wow there is gonna be no taste at all. no sugar no salt!


i wasnt being a pig... i was hungry
my mate who was with me just laughed at the time....no sympathy

[Q.]

Mashed peas then, with some mashed carrots and mashed chicken all mashed together with gravy.
