Burnt tongue?
I am hoping I am not the only one who has had this issue.. went on a bit of a binge over the weekend. Drank a lot and, of course, smoked a bunch of cigars. I tend to smoke fast and down to the nub so I get a lot of heat. I burned a spot in the center of my tongue. Its like a little blister and its white.
Anybody done this before? Should I be worried? Anything I can do to speed the healing? Thanks! |

Re: Burnt tongue?
I got roped into a speed herf contest once. The jackwagon running the contest had left the cigars out in his back yard to dry for a week before the contest.
Needless to say, burned the hell out of my tongue. After the contest was over I scraped off about a 1/2" by 1-1/4" long patch of burnt/blistered flesh from the surface of my tongue. Didn't smoke for about two or three weeks after that, but it healed up fine. |

Re: Burnt tongue?
Dave...it'll heal, no worries. But I wouldn't smoke anything for a few days (mostly because it won't taste right). No idea how to speed the healing process.

Re: Burnt tongue?
No. I've only ever burned my mouth with pizza or soup. I don't imagine your burn could be very much different from that.

Re: Burnt tongue?
I have felt like I have burned my tounge before but never had a sore apear. if it doesn't go away in a couple of days you might want to have someone look at it, and I don't mean a stranger on the street, I would suggest a stranger in a lab coat that will expect to be paid.

Fortunately, it was knocked senseless by my survival instinct.

Re: Burnt tongue?
Thanks all for the words. I just get a little nervous when I have something happen as a result of the smoking. I am try to lay off until it heals.. but occasionally I will partake and just smoke reeeeeeeel slow so as to not let the air get too hot. Been taking tons of vitamin C too. Maybe that will help.

Re: Burnt tongue?
Try taking Lysine, available over the counter. Should help heal up any mouth sores quicker.

Re: Burnt tongue?
While I've never burnt my tongue with a cigar, I have gotten sores in my mouth for which I was advised to gargle with a salt water solution. That did seam to help.
