Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
For hot water burns on tongue, you need to suck on ice cubes or drink cold water.
If needed, we can apply orasure gel to relieve pain later on. Otherwise not really needed, as it heals in few days by itself.
If too many burns, then visit emergency.

There are not too many burns. How many times does the gel needs to be applied and can it be ingested. How can I share the screenshot for better evaluation?
Brief Answer:
You can share your photo from your dashboard
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Hope you are doing fine.
You can upload the photos of the lesions from your dashboard. Or you can send an email at YYYY@YYYY and address it to my name: Dr Vaishalee Punj.
Orasore mouth gel can be applied on the lesions 2-3 times a day or whenever it hurts a lot. It is a combination of pain reliever and anti-infectives. If the burns are mild then you can just allow them to heal by themselves.
