no...you cannot speed it up...Remember that the surfaces of your mouth and tongue are mucus membranes, and as such, they heal faster than other areas of your body. So even though your tongue may really hurt, be comforted in knowing that by tomorrow, the burn should be gone.

in a few days your taste buds will return to normal

do you smoke?

That happened to me eating fish soup
from china its just that the skin cells on your tounge
were burn and are now regenerating them selves
so you can taste your food in the next couple of days or so
just do eat any sour, spicy, or hot foods.

what a big issue over nothing. so you burned your mouth or tongue...BD! in about 3 days, you'll be normal, if 'normal' applies to you.

next time it happens, eat some candy or sugar to sooth the burn
