You are wondering why is this post now, Right? It’s all because of my own experience just before 15 minutes :( Yes. I have bitten a stupid green chilly! While eating fried rice, bit it without conscious and it burned my tongue like hell. Still now it’s burning, but better than the beginning. I did few things to reduce the burning sensation on my tongue and I am feeling really better now. Just felt to share this with you all, so that when you bite something spicy next time, you will remember this and heal from this burning sensation fast.
Ice Water Treatment
Keep in mind, don’t drink excess water after eating something spicy because it’s not going to make your irritation reduce faster. Moreover, it spreads the spice particles allover your mouth. All you have to do first is, sip almost frozen ice water. Why I am saying is, this makes your tongue less sensible and thus it reduces the burning sensation.
Bread to Absorb The Tiny Spice Particles
It was said to me by my friend that bread when eaten after eating something spicier reduces the burning sensation in tongue and lip as it absorbs the tiny spice particles. So have some bread! don’t forget.. Only fresh bread. Its healthier and safer to eat bread only on the same day they were packed, throw away others.
Milk or Other Diary Products
After the ice water and bread treatment, have some milk. Milk calms down the tongue and makes it get recovered from irritation due to spices like chillies or pepper. Butter would be better though :p
That’s it. This information will be more than enough for you. Please don’t feel that it is a very big procedure. If your burning sensation stopped after having ice water, then no need to follow the other steps.
Note: After any “Chilly” experience like this, don’t forget to apply lip care or even butter over your lips to nourish and calm them, so they will be alright without any change in colour or texture.
Hope this post helped.
