It's not that bad in comparison to other burns that I've had. It's not blistered, thank goodness, but more widespread. My fingers are red and painful.

Use orajel.
Never mind, looked it up. Get the lidocaine. It's great stuff. It's that shot we give folks before we stitch them up. Very good for immediate relief.
I think for now I will just occasionally run it under cold water and hold onto a bag of frozen green beans. That actually helps immensely.
I once managed to burn the roof of my mouth so badly that it cracked wide open. Orajel was my hero, and even then I had to reapply it constantly. That's what happens when they close down all of a restaurant's locations in your area and you spot one driving through new york and don't think to maybe wait half a minute for your food to cool.
