Hi there,Sorry to hear that you're having this issue. It sounds like your tongue may have been a little sunburned (for lack of a better descriptor). This will wear off relatively quickly, like burning your tongue drinking hot tea or coffee.

Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMD
