Brief Answer:
Regarding burning sensation

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Most likely the burning sensation is the result of irritation to baking soda. I suggest you to wash the area thoroughly with plently of water. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg tablet once daily for symptomatic relief for 3-5 days.

Hope I have answered your query.Let me know if you need any more assistance
