I Have Had Nasty Cold For The Past 2 Weeks.

I have had nasty cold for the past 2 weeks. I saw a Dr and he told me it was a virus so he couldn't give me anything for it. My throat was so sore that I've been sucking on cough drops like crazy. Well now my cold is finally going away, but my tongue feels awful. Its sore and almost feels as though its been burned. Any suggestions to help this and make it go away?? I would really appreciate it.
